How about trying multi-sensory or tactile activities to help practice and teach the words? There's tons of ways to do this, it keeps the student involved and makes it more fun. here's just a few ideas....there are lots more| and you just need to be creative! writing the words in sand
tracing chalk on sandpaper
writing in whipped or shaving cream
writing/tracing in bins of beans or rice
spraying water on a wall or the ground or chalkboard to make the words
crayon rubbings over a bumpy surface
paint
make word puzzles (on tag board, cut them up and piece together)
make acronyms
scavenger | |
hunts around your room, or school or in a newspaper or magazine
word puzzles (like searches, crosswords, acrostics, etc)There's lots of ways to do it...some teachers in the younger grades may have ideas or ask a special ed teacher or anyone that uses the Orton-Gillingham approach to help teach words. (Orton-G uses a lot of these ideas and I'm sure has many more...look them up!) good luck
