Here are some great daily spelling activities to try!
- Write each spelling word five times.
- Write each spelling word in a rainbow of colors. First, write the words with a red crayon. Trace over the words with a blue crayon. Finally, trace the words again with a green crayon.
- Write your words with all the letters mixed up. Then ask a friend to unscramble the words. Correct your friend’s paper.
- Write each spelling word. Next to each word, at least one rhyming word.
- Use pasta (spaghetti or macaroni) to spell out each word and glue them down to paper.
- Write your spelling words in code: 1=a, 2=b, 3=c, 4=d, 5=e, 6=f, 7=g, 8=h, 9=i, 10=j, 11=k, 12=l, etc, etc….
- Record yourself saying each spelling word. Say each word, then use it in a sentence, then spell the word, then say it again.
- Spell out your spelling words using alphabet rubber stamps and an inkpad.
- Write your words with the hand you do not usually write with. (For example, if you are right-handed, write your words with your left hand.)
- Write each word in numbers. Find each letter on a telephone keypad and write the corresponding number for each letter.
- Use a piece of graph paper to craft a word search or a crossword puzzle using your spelling words.
- Build spelling pyramids: The tip of the pyramid is the first letter of the word. The second line is the first and second letters and the third line is the first, second, and third letters. Example: p
py
pyr
