I Don’t Believe it – Txting helps with Spelling
I’ll admit it. I use LOL occasionally. I also admit to w/ and b/c and JMHO. But, I also notice myself looking for the spell check button when I’m writing a hand written note. Pathetic? I think so.
Therefore I’ve always wondered if kids today are getting worse at spelling. With as much texting as they do, so many abbreviations (you’ve seen that cell phone commercial, right?) how could they possibly know how to spell well?
Evidently, I’m wrong. There are numerous studies that show that texting improves kids spelling. Amazing, huh? I’m still not sure if I believe it.
