Language is a vital means of communication . By language ,one
can communicate with others whether through talking to them or
reading what they write . Al.Hammash and younis (1980:7) state
that ''man need to use system of symbols including language to
express his needs and to make others help in fulfilling them '' .
Normally , the main skills of teaching any language are
classified into four types : listening , speaking , reading and writing
while the language system is composed of sounds , the writing system
consists of letters and written symbols. Because spelling is very
important in writing skill, it will be thoroughly discussed in the
research
