What's the Word Wednesday? - Cast a Spell on Your Writing

Cast a spell on your writing. 
Spelling is very important for writers. Teachers grade you on your spelling, and editors and publishers expect you to know how to spell the words you use in your poems and stories.  It's also much more enjoyable for the reader when things are written correctly.  

Check the words below for spelling errors. Do you know which ones are correct? If not, look them up in a dictionary. Send Storee a note letting her know how you did.  Then write a story or poem using one more of the words.

1. accidently
Correct
Incorrect

2. independance
Correct
Incorrect

3. foreign
Correct
Incorrect

4. paralel
Correct
Incorrect

5. privilege
Correct
Incorrect

Note: Critique said, "I bet they never forget how to spell the ones they look up in the dictionary."
