I’m always trying to find or think of different ways for my 2nd grade reader and speller to interact with his words so he has multiple and meaningful exposure with them. While reading and spelling words in the context of reading or writing should be a child’s main diet, practicing words out of context in fun and hands-on ways is a great way to build fluency and zero in on spelling patterns and/or tricky words (like I talk about in my spelling ebook, Teaching Kids to Spell.)

Just recently, I made a blank spelling word search puzzles for my son. Why was it blank? Because HE made the puzzles. My favorite thing about these spelling word search puzzles is that he (not I) was doing all the work. And when kids do the work in fun ways, THEY benefit from all the learning.

How to Make a Spelling Word Search Puzzles

This is SO simple. I promise! It takes about 1 minute to prep and the rest of the work belongs to the child.

1- Simply print off the blank puzzle of your choice. On the FREE download (at the end of this post) you’ll find a smaller grid for 8 words and larger one for 12 words, making this an appropriate activity for kids K-5.

2- Ask your child to write his spelling words on the lines at the bottom of the puzzle. These will eventually be hidden in the puzzle by your child. If you have a list of spelling words each week, ask him to use those. My son had 6 new words and then I asked him to pick 6 more from his portable manila “word wall” folder (as seen in the photo above).

3- Once all his words have been written below, ask him to hide them in the blank grid. He can make the puzzle as difficult or as easy as he wants. Once all the words are hidden, he fills in the rest of the grid with letters. He can make this part as tricky or as easy as he’d like as well.

4- Mama (or dad/adult in the home) tries to find all the hidden spelling words. He found such joy in the fact that it took me a few minutes to find two of his words. If you use this activity in a classroom setting, ask kids to switch puzzles for some spelling practice. I’d even use it for a spelling center that YOU DON’T HAVE TO PREP! Gotta love that!

Kids’ spelling skill eventually gets better after developing phonemic awareness. They start to guess spelling unknown words on their own. But they might lose interest after a while because of traditional boring methods of learning spelling.

Learning new words should include fun and involving ways for them to grow interest and memorize the words successfully.

How to Learn Spelling

Let’s start with the basic approaches. Kindergarten students should start with spelling two letter words first, then three and more complex words. They also need to learn about syllables and try to make new words with them.

Names

The very first word a kindergartener should start with is their own name.

Write out their names and ask them to speak their name first and then the spelling.
Every time a kid is submitting any classwork, ask them to write their name on the paper.
Display their names on the classroom in charts.
In home, ask them to write their names on cards and use those to label their things

Useful Words

The words they are learning first should be of everyday use and easy to spell.

For example, Mom, Dad, Yes, No, Stop etc.

Ask questions and make them answer with the learned questions.
Ask them to spell the words verbally.
Let them make sentences with those words.

Also, teach them the definition of the words which will help them to make new sentences and express themselves clearly.

Word Families

Teach your students about simple word families such as ig-family, an-family etc. for words with similar endings. This will make learning spelling easy and fun.

Simple Word Families for Kindergarteners

an: Man, Pan, Fan, Can etc.
at: Cat, Bat, Pat, Fat, Rat etc.
ig: Big, Pig, Fig etc.
ee: Bee, See, Fee, Tree, Knee, etc.
ck: Back, Pack etc.
ad: Bad, Dad, Mad, Sad, Had etc.

Spelling Rules

Learning spelling rules are a mandatory part of learning how to spell. Teach the kids about basic spelling rules which will help them to figure out which letter to put in the gap.

Some Basic Spelling Rules

Every word has at least one vowel
Every syllable has one vowel
Q is always followed by a U.
Capitalize names
Capitalize names of places.

Make sets of rules according to difficulty level. After students mastering the first set, go to the next one. Also remember that each child learns at different rate, so some may take longer to master to one set of rules.

This is why students love SpellQuiz Spelling programs where every kid can progress at their own pace.

Are you curious about finding new teaching strategies? Check out this guide on teaching spelling strategies here.

Mrs. D, Mrs. I, Mrs. FFI

I personally recommend the Rhyme from movie Matilda’ where the students learnt spelling Difficulty’ with a rhyme.

Mrs. D, Mrs. I

Mrs. F-F-I

Mrs. C, Mrs. U

Mrs. L-T-Y

Can you make a rhyme for a word the kids need to learn how to spell?

Write, Then Write, Then Write

When learning a new word, make sure the students are writing it multiple times. It will make memorization easier.

Ask your students to write the words on the board, give them worksheets, and tell them to write the words using different coloured pencils.
Give them a short list of words, ask them to write the letters by looking at first. Then ask them to write the words from their memory, without looking.

Are you looking for a spelling curriculum for struggling spellers? Check out this detailed guide.

Don’t Just Write, READ!

The students should read the words aloud to learn the pronunciation along with the spelling.

Give them a short list of words
Give them a short text including the words, read the text together.
Ask the children to colour or mark the listed words.
Make small groups and ask them to spell the words aloud.
Parents should give their kids storybooks, magazines etc. and ask them to circle certain words.

Memorizing Spelling

This traditional method is fun yet effective and engaging for first-time learners. It also improves their visual memory. Give the kindergartener a written word, then ask them to close their eyes and visualize the word letter by letter. Ask them to spell it out loud and check if they are correct.

Revise Once in a While

Along with learning new words, examine how many previous words they remember correctly. Once in a while, hold a session where you revise the old words. Give them activities, ask them to spell the words and write them after.

You can also track their progress using SpellQuiz Spelling tests where quizzes are divided into grades from grade 1 to grade 12 and also available for adults.

Make Learning Spellings fun

Engaging students with practical activities rather than traditional read and write with pen and paper has proved to be more fruitful for spelling learning. These activities not only focuses on children’s spelling memory, but auditory, visual and sensory memory too, which makes learning process more enjoyable.

In addition, the materials needed for these are easy to make.

Flash cards

Write the words on a card and its definition on the back. Show your students or kid the definition first and let him guess the word, and then spell it aloud. You can add pictures to explain the words and make them write the words on the other side

Here’s a guide on spelling mnemonics with spelling rhymes to remember. Check it now!

Spelling Train

Give a word to your student and ask to write a word that begins with the last letter of the given word. Then tell them to write a new letter that begins with the last letter of their previously written word and make a word chain. This way, you can evaluate their learning progress.

For example,

Cat > Tree > Egg > Goal > Lion

Letter Shapes

Use letter block, magnetic letter shapes, scrabble pieces etc. and ask the child to make words with them. Kids will feel more engaged and learn the words faster.

Use alphabet pastas, cookies or cereal for fun.
Ask them to make a word with these and if they are correct, they may have a bite.

Finger Painting

Kids will learn faster when they are being creative. Write a word with big letters on a paper and ask the kid to trace the word with their fingers. Then ask them to write the words with their fingers using paint.

This fun and unique way will grow their interest in spelling learning and help memorize the words better.

Crosswords

Instead of passive techniques, give your students simple crossword puzzles to find out their progress. This technique also evaluates different types of skills such as reasoning and vocabulary along with spelling. You can make the puzzles into fun shapes which will make it more interesting.

Evaluate Learning Spelling for Kindergarten Kids

You never truly learn something unless you apply your knowledge in practical.

How would you know how many words your child or students have learned?

And how many they still remember?

You should give them activities where they can apply what they have learnt. You can also use English Spelling Quizzes from SpellQuiz. The test starts from grade one. The student will hear words and need to write them in the paper. This test will also evaluate their auditory memory.

There are also other class activities listed below:

Word Search

Word search is an impressive game to learn spelling. Give them a list of words and ask them to find them from the puzzle. They should mark it or cross it off.

This activity will better their visual memory and imagination too. You can make small groups for a bigger list of words.

Hangman

Students love this game!

Use it as a part of your lecture, or play it with your kid at home, children will definitely get excited to score more. For beginners, give them a list of words first to make it easier. You can use the definition of the word as a clue.

Write a Story

For advanced learners, ask them to write a story with their newly learned words instead of a sentence. Their creativity will have a boost in the process. You may assign them a topic too.

For example: ask them to write about a zoo with all the words they have learned. Also, give them specific words to use if you like.

Let Them Make Lists

Write words on cards and ask the students arrange them alphabetically. Not directly connected to spelling skill, this task will help them to recognize the words and visualize the words better.

This task can be given to individual or to a group. You can also use magnetic cards.

Final Thoughts

At first, all the kids find learning spelling fun. They like to play with letters. What we need to do is to keep their interest going on by engaging them more with it. Traditional methods are without a doubt necessary, and adding new activities, learning how to spell becomes a wholesome process for the learners.

Search for fun materials on the internet.

SpellQuiz has a wide range of materials to help your kid learn spelling more words more effectively and faster. Don’t forget to track their progress. Good luck learning!

For example, your child can visit spelling tests to practice spelling using dictations. Then, she could try the vocabulary test to get informed about her current vocabulary level.

Or, she could try playing the Spelling Bee Online — there are plenty of things to do at SpellQuiz.

Здравствуйте. Многим пользователям приходится часто набирать текст для составления документов, написания контента для сайтов, оформления писем и т.д. Очень важно писать правильно, чтобы не показать себя глупым и невежественным человеком. Я рекомендую программу Word из офисного пакета Microsoft Office. В данной статье хочу рассказать, как проверить текст на ошибки онлайн и в Word 2010 или других версиях этого текстового редактора.

Немного истории

Еще в 2010 году я создал развлекательный ресурс о кино, где публиковал рецензии на фильмы, обзоры премьер, биографии актеров. Спустя четыре года на сайте было размещено более трех тысяч статей. Однажды я решил посмотреть свои первые записи, и был ошеломлен. Обнаружил массу ошибок грамматических и пунктуационных, предложения состояли из множества оборотов, читать их было непросто. На то время я не проверял их на правописание, а зря. Первые дни я не мог успокоиться и редактировал старые тексты, чтобы довести их до ума.

Вывод напрашивался сам: следовало предварительно набирать обзоры в Ворде, чтобы автоматически исправлять ошибки.

В этой программе встроен очень полезный функционал, который выделяет (подчеркивает) некорректный ввод красной или зеленой волнистой линией. Но не всегда проверка срабатывает автоматически. Возможно, её предварительно нужно включить в настройках приложения. Как это сделать – Вы сейчас узнаете!

Варианты проверки

Существует несколько способов «сканирования» документов на наличие ошибок. Перейдем к их рассмотрению.

Как проверить текст на ошибки онлайн

Сервисов существует немало, но самыми распространенными являются Спеллер от Яндекса и Text.ru. Достаточно перейти по указанным ссылкам и вставить в поле ввода нужный текстовый фрагмент.

Автоматическая

Срабатывает по ходу набора текста, чтобы можно было сразу внести изменения. К примеру, Вы пропустили букву в слове, или не поставили пробел после знака препинания. Word сразу же предупредит о необходимости исправления.

Но если Вы вводите заведомо некорректные слова, а система никак на это не реагирует, значит, автоматическая проверка не включена. Как её активировать?

Заходим в главное меню приложения, кликнув по кнопке в левом верхнем углу.
Теперь следует нажать на «Параметры Word» (этот элемент может находиться в разных местах, в зависимости от версии программы). У меня это выглядит так:

Для Ворд 2013 с обновленным интерфейсом меню имеет следующий вид:

Дальнейшие опции одинаковы для разных выпусков офисного редактора. Слева выбираем пункт «Правописание». А справа находим строчку «Автоматически проверять…» и ставим возле неё галочку.

В самом низу можно задать набор правил для проверки. По умолчанию выбрано значение «для деловой переписки», но можно указать более строгий алгоритм, если хотите устранить максимум ошибок и убрать разговорные фразы.

Проверка по умолчанию

Если во время набора текста начинают подчеркиваться правильные слова, скорее всего они отсутствуют в словаре программы. Нужно их туда добавить. Как это сделать правильно?

Выделяем необходимое слово / фразу / фрагмент документа;
Переходим в раздел «Рецензирование», затем – «Правописание» (для Ворд 2007 и выше). Для более ранних версий следует зайти в меню «Сервис». Или проще нажать на клавиатуре «F7». Откроется следующее окно:

Здесь можно либо пропустить ошибку, либо исправить её (могут быть предложены варианты замены), либо добавить её в словарь (если считаете, что слово является правильным и не содержит ошибок).

С этим разобрались.

Но что делать, если Вы пытаетесь выполнить вышеуказанные действия, но перед Вами появляется сообщение «Средства проверки не установлены»? Или же просто отображается окошко, что «Проверка окончена», но красное / зеленое подчеркивание не убирается? В таком случае, необходимо перейти к следующим шагам.

Установка пакета

Речь идет о пакете проверки правописания, который по каким-то причинам не вошел в состав приложения. Возможно, Вы забили указать его во время инсталляции. Решение следующее:

Переходим в «Панель управления» и открываем раздел «Программы и компоненты»:

В появившемся окне отобразятся все установленные программы. Следует найти Word, выделить его и кликнуть по кнопке «Изменить»:

После короткой паузы должно отобразиться окно с предложением добавить новые компоненты / удалить существующие. Жмем «Продолжить» (Далее).
Теперь следует раскрыть ветку «Общие средства». В ней должны быть «Средства проверки правописания». Кликаем по элементу и выбираем опцию «Запускать всё с моего ПК»:

Вот и всё! Осталось дождаться установки выбранного компонента. После этого рекомендую перезапустить компьютер.

Настройки языка

Бывает, что для одного языка проверка производится корректно, а для другого – вообще не работает. Например, если нужно проверить текст на английском на ошибки. В таком случае, следует перейти во вкладку «Рецензирование» (она есть и в Ворде 2016 года), нажать на изображение глобуса. Это меню выбора языка, где следует снять отметку напротив опции «Не проверять правописание»:

Видео

Если не хотите читать много букв, то можете откинуться на спинку кресла (или стула) и посмотреть обучающее видео, как включить проверку орфографии в Word:

Как видите, всё очень просто. Буквально несколько кликов – и проблема устранена. Теперь знаете, как проверить английский текст на ошибки онлайн (или на любом другом языке). Даже если Ваша ситуация сугубо индивидуальна и не может быть решена с помощью моей инструкции, рекомендую задавать вопросы в комментариях. Я обязательно на них отвечу.

С уважением, Виктор
