Spelling Strategy
Many students struggle with learning their spelling words. Below is a strategy that we have used in class and that many find very helpful.
Complete the following 6 steps with each spelling word:
LOOK at the word
SAY the word out loud
NAME the letters in the word (spell it out loud)
COVER the word
WRITE the word from memory
CHECK the word, letter by letter
Students would need to complete this strategy several times with each word. It often benefits those students who are visual, as it helps them "see" the word in their mind.
