Some include writing, but in a bit of a fun way.<br />Pyramid words... say your word is word,<br />w<br />wo<br />wor<br />word<br />have the student write them in this way, forming half of a pyramid. It's much funner that way.<br />Rainbow words... You write the words (fairly large) on a sheet of paper and let the child used many different crayons to trace. You end up with words that look very much like a rainbow.<br />Cheer... Find a body movement to go with each letter of the word. For example, W - punch the air in front of you, O - wiggle your body, R - run in place, D - do a little dance. It's a lot of fun, especially if mom is doing it as well!<br />My favorite way to teach spelling/reading in the early years is to use letter tiles. Give them only the letters they need for a few word families. Start with the word family sound, for example "am." Have them find the letters that make the sounds in "am." Then work your way around making lots of other "am" words like sam, ham, jam, etc. Then, switch it up. If you ended on jam, ask them to change jam so that it will be jar. So much fun and working with letter tiles makes it easier than writing. For great letter tiles, simply write the letters on index cards or purchase the (rather fabulous) game bananagrams. <br />Longest comment in the history of the world, huh?!Fatimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10441655211819602032noreply@blogger.com
