Below are some suggestions to help your child learn how to practice their Spelling Rocket words!
♥ Spell words with magnetic letters .
♥ Use alphabet stamps to stamp words on paper.
♥ Cut letters from magazines or newspaper to spell the words. .
♥ Sandpaper rubbings: Cut each letter out of sandpaper and glue it onto card. The child spells out their word and puts a piece of paper over it and does a crayon rubbing.
♥ Window spelling: Buy window washable markers and the child can write their words on the windows.
♥ Make a word search or crossword puzzle at Puzzlemaker.com with the spelling words.
♥ Rainbow Words: Students write each spelling word with their pencil. They then go back and
trace each word with a crayon. They do this two more times with two different crayons.
♥ Telephone Writing: prepare paper with the spelling words written according the keypad of a telephone. Students will look at a telephone keypad to figure out the spelling word. They will write the spelling word on the paper the parent has prepared.
♥ Disappearing words: Write a word on a chalkboard with a wet sponge. Aim a small fan at it to speed drying. The child writes the words as many times as they can CORRECTLY AND NEATLY before the word "disappears". It's a nice twist to writing each word multiple times and they LOVE it!
♥ Write spelling words in white crayon -or any light colored crayon, then paint over them with watercolor paint. The white crayon acts as a resist and the words "magically" appear.
♥ Guess the word: One partner "writes" a spelling word with his/her finger on his/her partner's back.
