Use mnemonic devices:
I before E, except after C,
Or when sounded like ay as in neighbor or weigh.
Which do you eat--desert or dessert?
Strawberry Shortcake is yummy, so it's dessert with two S's.
Make up a sentence or another word:
A Rat In The House May Eat The Ice Cream spells arithmetic.
Hook it in your mind with a word you know how to spell.
Is it ocassion, occassion, or occasion?
Occasions OCCuR, so it's two C's and one S.
Add rhythm: Most of us learned MiSS iSS iPP i.
So it's iN coN veN ieN ce for inconvenience.
More to come later--stay tuned.
