60 Ways to Practice Spelling Words
By Teachers.Net Community
like a slice of pie cut out of the plate. Brad around piece of paper to the back. Then write the weekly spelling words in the window. The students turn the wheel and practice saying the word.
47. Spell It With Beans- The students use lima beans to spell the weekly spelling words. The students can also glue the beans in place for a 3-D flash card.
48. Spelling Squares- Students practice their words on graphing paper. The students use 1 box for each letter. Have the students figure out which spelling word is in the shortest, longest, etc. . . .
49. Rainbow chains- Rainbow chains are a great way of keeping track of the words a student knows. The student writes the words he successfully spelled on Friday’s final test on a construction paper chain. The children love to see their chains grow!
50. Sandpaper Practice-Students write their words on sheets of sandpaper. The students can really feel their words!
51. Pipe cleaners – Children use these to form their spelling words.
52. Toothpicks – Same as above.
53. Word search – They can pick 10 of their stumper (high frequency) words to make up a word search.
54. Alphabet Stamps
55. Word collage – They design a collage using all of their words using markers, colored pencils etc.
56. Design a word – They pick one word and bubble letter it and design it.
57. Magazine letters – They find the letters in a magazine and glue them onto construction paper.
58. Painting – Paint their words.
59. Play dough – I have cookie cutters that are letters of the alphabet. The kids also like to form the dough itself into letters.
60. Magnetic Letters – I bought at a dollar store. Twist-Tie Spelling – use the twist-ties from the store to form letters to spell the words.
