It has been shown in the recent study that daily text messaging is a very effective factor to make the children better spellers and readers. This study was carried among groups of 8-12 years old children by Dr Clare wood, a reader of development psychology at Coventry University and he have found that the children who are use to text messages daily in their routine are unlikely to be among those students who have spelling and reading problems in their class.

It is also one of the main problems of the parents and teachers that those children who have routine of text messaging uses the texted languages in their daily exams and test but according to Dr Clare “children using “phonologically based textisms” often proved to be the best at spelling”. So apart from the bad impacts of using mobile phones on the children the parents might be happy to know that the habit of texting will increase the spelling and reading habit of their children and now they won’t place restriction of using mobile phones for their children.
