should get you started.

However, teaching spelling is a real trick. Sam is on the right
track. Just giving students a list of spelling words does NOT
work and neither does giving them a list of vocabulary words.

Your smart and motivated students will play the game, but they
won't retain anything.

Your average students will eventually give up.

Your struggling students are too smart to play that stupid game.

Vocabulary must be explicitly taught. I don't believe in teaching
spelling. But explicit phonics instruction won't hurt them.
Knowing that /f/ can be spelled f/ff/gh/ph STILL doesn't help me
spell twelfth.
