Daily practice is the best way to reinforce spelling. Here are a few fun techniques to try!
Shaving cream – spray it on a flat surface, smooth it out and let him write his words in it.
Finger paint – let him spell out his words with finger paint.
Sidewalk chalk – have him spell out his words on the driveway with colorful chalk.
Keyboarding – let him type his words out on the computer.
Hangman – play hangman using the spelling words.
Tiles – grab some letter tiles and have them spell the words you dictate.
“Guess the Word” – spell the word for them and give them a chance to guess what it is.
As far as on-line spelling resources, there are many to choose from. Our favorite is www.spellingcity.com.
