Tips:
1. Use alphabet magnets or Scrabble tiles to spell out each word.
2. Write the word list on a piece of construction paper. Then cut
the words apart into strips. Cut those words into letters and
have your child reconstruct the list.
3. Write sentences for each word. Make sure your child is using it
in context to show that he or she understands the definition and
part of speech.
4. Write or type a story using all of the spelling words. The story
doesn’t have to be a masterpiece, but it should show that he or
she knows how to spell and use each word properly.
5. Create a set of flashcards. Have your child write each spelling
word in pencil on separate notecards. There are some ways to
use flashcards other than using them to quiz your child. Your
child can:
a. Trace the word in pen or marker to reinforce knowing the
letters and shape the word makes when it’s spelled
correctly.
b. Read the word, turn the card over, write it again and flip
to check for accuracy.
6. Use old magazines or newspapers to find spelling words and cut
them out. It can be an interesting demonstration of how many
times words are used in everyday writing. (This is especially
useful for high-frequency sight words.)
