I'm thrilled to be part of the WFA Board and eagerly look forward to playing my part in advancing this vital mission,” said Carolina Galvani.

The decision to "improve your spelling with games" aligns with contemporary understanding of learning as fundamentally emotional as well as cognitive. Games create positive emotional associations with spelling practice through enjoyment, achievement, and curiosity. These positive emotions enhance memory formation and retrieval, making learning more effective and durable. The affective dimension of game-based learning represents its hidden advantage over more traditional approaches that often create anxiety or boredom. By making spelling emotionally engaging, games address a crucial but often overlooked component of effective learning.
