ASK ME TO APPROVE ANY ADDITIONAL CHOICES YOU MIGHT WANT TO USE TO PRACTICE SPELLING!
Spelling Practice Choices:
- Use your spelling words to write a short story
- Write an alliterative tongue twister using each of your spelling words. Example: spelling word=some – Sally saw some seals in the sea.
- Write a letter to a relative/friend, in proper letter format, using at least 8 of your words. Underline each word
- Make and complete a word search using: www.puzzlemaker.com
- Use a thesaurus to write a synonym (words that have the same, or nearly the same meaning) for each word. Example: stone – rocks
- Write your spelling words on cards (make two sets) and play “Memory Match”
- Draw and color a picture. “Hide” the words in the picture
- Use each spelling word in a sentence. (Correct spelling and grammar are important!)
- Write each spelling word. Next to each word, write two additional words of at least three letters that can be spelled using the letters in the word. Example: the word pickle can be used to make the words lick, pick, like, and lip.
- Ask an adult to write your words with all the letters scrambled up, and then unscramble and correctly spell the words
- Write each spelling word in a rainbow of colors. First, write the words with a red crayon/colored pencil. Trace over the words in a blue crayon/colored pencil and finally trace the words again with a green crayon/colored pencil.
- Write your words on the sidewalk with sidewalk chalk – take a picture and paste it in your notebook
- Make a set of flashcards for studying your words
- Print each word, next to it, write the word in cursive
