Abstract
This study examined the relationship between spelling errors and academic achievement in English Language among senior secondary school students in Ikere Local Government Area (LGA). A total of 100 students and 5 teachers from five selected schools participated in the study. The results revealed a significant negative correlation between spelling errors and academic achievement in English Language. Specifically, students with higher rates of spelling errors tended to perform poorly in English Language. The study concludes that spelling errors can be a predictor of academic achievement in English Language among senior secondary school students. The findings of this study have implications for English Language educators, policymakers, and parents, highlighting the need to prioritize spelling instruction and support in senior secondary schools.
