How to improve our spelling:

1) Read books, newspapers, magazines, webpages, etc.
2) Write checking words as you go along in the dictionary.
3) Look for patterns in the spelling of words.

There are three of the ways to improve your spelling.

I have a one-page summary of teaching points at http://www.mxsmanic.com/spelling.pdf that may be useful for you.

Ultimately spelling seems to be correlated more with vocabulary than anything else; in other words, the larger your vocabulary, the better you'll spell. Also, for native speakers, having learned to read with phonics instead of look-and-say makes a big difference.
