TEACHING SPELLING
When announcing spelling words for average senior-high-school students, pronounce them at the rate of 1 word every 12 seconds. Difficult words can be recalled and written in that period of time if the student knows them. And this interval is short enough that students won't get bored by the easy words.

SPELLING
If an English word is derived from Latin, it ends with "or," as in actor, donor, and doctor. If it is original to English, the proper ending is "er."
