Keyword Typo Generator
http://www.seochat.com/seo-tools/keyword-typo-generator/
Keyword Typo Generator
Enter a keyword or key term into the box to generate a list of suggestions for likely human misspellings and typos.
Because the results are based on the proximity of the characters on a QWERTY keyboard, and a database of common spelling/typo mistakes (as well as a few other factors), they are fairly accurate and likely to occur in a real world situation.

Spelling using Phonemic Processing Games
http://membres.distributel.net/~skipper/phonics/phonics_main.htm
Phonemic Processing by Word Building
Learn to sound out and spell words as you move letters around and build small words into big words by replacing letters and reshuffling letters. You will need to drag the correct letter into a green box and then press the check button. If your word is correct you will score a point. You need 10 points to win.
This Phonics game is like learning phonemic processing at school as a teacher will talk to you and encourage you to correct mistakes, giving positive feedback on correct answers.

How to Study Spelling Words
http://www.auburn.edu/%7Emurraba/spelling.html
How to Study Spelling Words
When poor spellers begin with the written word, they often try to memorize a spelling as if it were an arbitrary letter string.
Arbitrary strings are terribly hard to remember; think how long it takes to learn a phone number, and then imagine trying to learn 88,500 phone numbers--the estimated number of words in printed school English.
The following strategy helps the student focus on the pronunciation of a word before seeing its spelling. This helps the student understand that a spelling is a meaningful map of the pronunciation. When spellings are understood as pronunciation maps, they are much easier to remember.
