108. Developing pupils’ spelling competence through activities.

1. PLAY THE SPELLING MEMORY GAME:

First, create flashcards that have one word per card. You can use your child’s spelling list, or create your own. Have your child pick a card, read the word aloud, and say each of the letters in the word. Then, have him or her place the card face down and write the word on a piece of paper.
This activity encourages: memory recall and spelling aloud.

2. SOUND IT OUT:

Say a word out loud to your child, have him or her repeat it back to you, and then write out what he or she heard. For younger children, try to stick to words that are spelt as they are heard. For older children, include more complex words that are a bit more difficult to spell.
