What are some ways to help my child become a better speller?
assistant
1. Have your child practice writing the words out phonetically, then have them try and spell them correctly.
2. Provide your child with spelling lists that focus on different types of words such as prefixes, suffixes, or root words.
3. Make flashcards with examples of correct spelling for each word they’re learning.
4. Use games like Scrabble, Boggle, or crossword puzzles to help build their vocabulary and understanding of language.
5. Have your child read aloud from books and newspapers so they can hear the correct pronunciation of words.
6. Have conversations with your child about words in context, so they learn how to use them in sentences.
7. Encourage your child to write down new words they come across and look up the definitions online.
8. Ask your child to explain why they chose a certain word rather than another one.
