Spelling Help
Many children have a difficult time learning their spelling words for the week. Sometimes you will even see him or her running away from you as you take out “the folder”. As the words become harder, your child may want to give up or procrastinate that portion of the homework that they say is just “too hard”.
For parents, this experience of having your child not remember the weekly spelling words can be very frustrating. This can be difficult for both the parents, but most especially the child.
Below is a list of ideas to help you tackle your child’s fear of spelling. It may also help them to achieve their full potential, and help them learn at the same time:
1. Use sticky notes Write the spelling words on a sticky note and post it in a visible place for your child to see each day until the test.
2. Draw a picture If your child is a visual learner, drawing a picture may help your child remember the word
3. Snap and tap Try using rhythm to recite the spelling words by snapping or tapping the letters out. This is a great way for your child to memorize some of the harder words.
4. Use “Rainbow Colors” When practicing the spelling words, have your child write the words three times and ask them to use different colors.
5. Shaving Cream Words As a multisensory experience use shaving cream to help them practice writing the words.
These techniques are not only proven to be popular, but successful in boosting the self confidence of your child as they learn how to learn best.
If you would like more information on techniques to help your child learn better, or would like information on the Multi-Sensory Approach of Multi-Sensory Orton Gillingham or Handwriting Without Tears in the Atlanta area, please contact Christine at christine@learningridge.com.
