spelling ideas
By Rebecca

Clip to ScrapBook   
Thank you so much Elaine for clearing "spelling contracts" up for me. Here is a list of things I do for Spelling...

**Write your words by cutting out letters in a newspaper or magazine and glue them on paper. (I bought
a box of paper letters--written in different styles--at our local teacher store. I use these as well.

**Write your spelling words forwards, then backwards.

**Write your letters in three rainbow colors (beginning, vowel sound, ending)... or color code however.

**Convert your words to Morse Code, Braille, or choose a few and convert to American Sign Language.

**Write your words

substituting a smiley face for the vowel sound.

**Translate your words into numbers from a telephone keypad.

**Let your partner "write" the words on your back using his/her finger (going slowly so you can say each letter).

**Number the alphabet 1-26 then convert your words to a number code.

**Use playdough and letter cookie cutters to make your words.

**Make your words from magnetic alphabet letters (I use them on a cookie sheet).

**Use letter tiles to make your words (I bought these at Wal-Mart for around $3. That beats our teacher store that had them for around $20! Ugghh!)

**Use Pasta to make the words (I use to could find the alphabet in pasta but have had a hard time finding it now).

I think this is about it. If I think of something I left out, I'll be back to post it. Hope these have helped!
