Why We Teach Word Origins
When children understand why words are spelled a certain way, spelling becomes logical rather than random memorization.
"Light" - From Old English "leoht." The GH was once pronounced like the "ch" in Scottish "loch." We stopped saying it but kept spelling it.
"Knight" - From Old English "cniht" (young servant). The K was pronounced! Say "k-nikt" to remember the spelling.

Etymology instruction improves spelling retention by up to 40%
