So often students with poor spelling skills struggle severely in regular classroom. It is hard to accommodate for the students when they are working two or more grade levels below the regular curriculum. Their spelling is often so poor that they themselves cannot read it. Other people struggle to read it else, including parents and teachers. To top it all off a new students are poor readers along with having trouble with writing and spelling. Some students all some have problems with language skills makes it difficult for them to organize grammar and sentence structure.what are these students to use to keep up in the regular classroom? There are starting to be assistive technology to help the students. Programs like Dragon speak can help them by converting their speech to text. There are also websites out there that help check spelling online. Technology is improving at a drastically faster rate than it has been.The technology for speech to text is even becoming available on cell phones.

Is it possible to make money online or are you chasing that elusive dream. You want to work from home, but everyone else is trying to make passive money also.
