How to Improve Your Spelling and Pronunciation Together

Spelling and pronunciation in English are closely connected—but not always predictable. Learning both at the same time helps build stronger word recognition and clearer speech. Seeing how words are written trains the eye, while saying them aloud trains the ear and mouth.

Start by reading new words out loud instead of silently. Notice patterns between letters and sounds—like “ough” in though, through, and thought. Use online dictionaries with audio to hear accurate pronunciation, then repeat each word several times while visualizing its spelling.

Writing words phonetically (using IPA or your own notes) reinforces sound-letter connections. Short daily exercises—such as reading aloud, spelling tests, or dictations—improve both pronunciation accuracy and vocabulary retention.

A coach can help you focus on common spelling-to-sound traps that cause mispronunciation. Intonetic’s structured training combines listening, spelling, and speech correction—so learners pronounce confidently and remember new words naturally.
