Your Child Can Be a Better Speller With Your Guidance!
Help Your Child pay attention to how words are spelled. When reading aloud, tell them to stop once in a while to look at the words they are reading. |
Play spelling games together. Scrabble, Boggle, UpWords, or even an old favorite like Hangman can give your child practice in spelling correctly. |
Make sure your child studies regularly. Set aside 15 minutes or so in every study session to review spelling words. |
At the beginning of the week, test your child on the spelling words. Spend the most study time on the unknown words. |
Have your child make a tape. Making the tape can help them review the words. The tape will also free you from spending a lot of time on spelling words. |
Have your child write spelling words. Also have them say the words out loud. Correct any pronunciation problems. |
