What does Misspelling really mean?

Misspelling means to write a word or words with incorrect letters in it. Let me give you an example: instead of writing "banana," you might accidently write "banan." See? That's a misspelling. It's like making a little mistake when writing a word, kind of like when you accidentally put the wrong puzzle piece in a puzzle. It happens to everyone sometimes!

There are different reasons why someone might misspell a word. It might be because they didn't study the word carefully or because they mixed up the letters in their head. Sometimes, when a word is really long or has tricky letters, it can be easy to make a mistake. But don't worry, even the best writers make misspellings sometimes!
