There will be 2 skill words this week. Make sure that your child understands the spelling pattern and is able to apply it to new words.
Here are some fun ways to practice your spelling words.
ABC Order - Write your words in alphabetical order. Then write them in reverse alphabetical order.
Colorful Words - Use two different color pens to write your spelling words. Use one color to write the consonants and the other for the vowels. Do this one more time. Close your eyes and picture the word in your mind. Now try and write the word with just one color.
Memory Game - Make pairs of word cards. Flip them over and try to match the pairs!
Finger Tracing - Use your finger to spell out each of your words one letter at a time on your Mom or Dad’s back. Then it’s YOUR turn to feel and spell.
Sing Them Loud, Sing Them Soft - Have your Mom or Dad sing the letters of a spelling word to you in a loud voice. You echo the spelling and then sing it again softly. Now BOTH of you sing the word in the voice you choose!
Stairsteps - Write words as if they are stairs, adding one letter each time. (If you are using lined paper, begin up against the left margin line. If you are using graph paper, begin on the left.)
Fancy Letters - Use old magazines, catalogs, or newspapers to cut out letters and glue them down to spell your words!
Comic Strip - Use a handy blank comic strip form, like the one below, to create a comic strip using each of your spelling words!
