In a previous blog we have discussed different ways to become a better speller. As a parent I am always looking for different fun ways to practice spelling. It’s important to me to make learning fun. Here a few more fun practice ideas for learning to spell.

1. Have small kids? Foam letters are a great learning tool. Stick the letters on the bathtub wall and have fun spelling. My kids even liked creating and sounding out their own word creations.

 

2. Use sign language to sign your letters as you spell your words.

 

3. Connect the Letters. Just like connect the dots but with letters. Ex: Connect S- P- E- L- L. There is another option to this making several dots for each letter itself. Both are very fun.

 

4.Pyramids. Ex: S

                          SP

                        SPE

                       SPEL

                      SPELL

These are fun my kids also like to change colors with each level.

 

5. Pipe Cleaners. Are you are crafty mom? Break those pipe cleaners out and bend them to form letters to spell words.

There are so many fun ways to practice spelling. Over the years I have gotten ideas from teachers, other parents, and the internet. Have more fun ideas to practice? Leave a comment and let us know.
