Learning how to spell a set of words on a weekly basis can be a little
difficult a times. Here are some strategies to help you practice the
spelling/vocabulary words.
-Remembering how to spell new words always use the LOOK-THINK-COVER-
WRITE-CHECK method. This is how it works.
* LOOK carefully at the new word.
* THINK about the parts of the word which might cause problems.
* COVER the word and close your eyes.
* WRITE the word down without looking back.
* CHECK to see if you're right.
-Have a spelling/vocabulary bee with your family members. Make sure to use
the words you will be tested on that week.
-Write the words in shipshape form
Example: APPLE
A
AP
APP
APPL
APPLE
-Write the words 5 times each.
-Write the words in a sentence.
-ABC Order.
-Hangman
-Write a letter to a friend or family member using 6 of the spelling words.
-Write each spelling word. Draw a green circle around each vowel. Draw a red
line under each consonant.
-Play Scrabble using only the words of the week.
-Make your own word search.
-Create flash cards: Spelling/Vocabulary word on one side of the card. The
definition on the other side of the card.
Have Fun and Good Luck!!!
