Dear Parents,
Here are some fabulous ideas for
helping your children practice their
spellings at home!
Please help your child practice their
spellings every night in preparation for
their weekly spelling test.
Draw and colour a picture. Hide your
spelling words inside your picture.
Show your picture to someone
and see if they can find your
hidden words!
Write silly sentences
using a spelling word in each
sentence. Make sure you underline
your spelling words!
Example: My dog wears a blue and
purple dress when he takes a bath.
Write your spelling words forwards
and then backwards. Write neatly!
Example:
where
erehw
“Pyramid write” your spelling words.
You must write neatly!
*Example:
home
h
ho
hom
home
Choose one of your spelling words.
Write an acrostic poem for that word.
You must also ILLUSTRATE your poem.
*Example:
fly
Fun in the sky.
Laps around clouds.
Yes! I’m free!
Write your spelling words in bubble
letters. After you write your words in
bubble letters, colour your words with
a crayon or colored pencil.
Write a story using ALL of your
spelling words. Be sure to underline
your spelling words in your paragraph.
You could even type your story like an
author!
Write a riddle for each of your spelling
words. Don’t forget to add the
answers to your riddles.
*Example- I cry when I am hungry. I wear
nappies. I am cute and cuddly. What am I?
*Answer - Baby
Each letter has a value.
*Consonants are worth 10.
*Vowels are worth 5.
Write your spelling words. Then add up
the value of each spelling word.
Examplesaid- 10 + 5 + 5 + 10 = 30
First write each word in pencil.
Then trace over each word three
times. Each time you trace, you
must use a DIFFERENT colour
crayon. Trace neatly and you will see
a rainbow!
Your job is to write a creative letter
to Superman (or another super hero).
In your letter, you must use each of
your spelling words. Be sure to
underline your words as you use them.
Write a poem using several of your
spelling words. Underline the words
that you use. Illustrate your poem.
You can write any type of
poem that you like. Enjoy!
Find a countertop or flat surface that can
be cleaned easily. Spray a small amount of
shaving cream and spread it out.
Write your spelling words in the
shaving cream and be sure to clean up
afterwards! Make sure you ask an
adult first!
Write ten of your
spelling words in dots.
Then connect the dots by tracing
over them with a coloured pencil.
Write each of your spelling words.
Next to each word, write a rhyming
word. If necessary, your rhyming word
can be a nonsense word (as long as it
follows the same spelling pattern).
*Example:
cries
tries
Come up with a code for each letter of the
alphabet. Write down your code.
*Example: a=
b=
c=
Write each of your spelling
words using fancy letters.
Then write your spelling words in code.
You must write the actual spelling word
next to the “code word.”
Your letters can have curly-q’s
or dots, for example. Have fun!
Use sign language finger spelling to sign
the spelling of your words.
Check out Unity Kid’s site
Write each of your spelling
words. Write each letter using
a different colored pencil!
http://www.unitykid.com/signlanguage.html
to see animated hands making the
letters so you can practice!
*Example -
colourful
Number the alphabet from 1-26.
Example: a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4, etc.
Then convert your words to a
number code.
You must write the actual spelling word next
to the “code word.”
Use an old magazine and find
your words (or the letters
that make up your word).
Cut them out and glue on your
paper.
Use your finger to spell out each of your
spelling words, one letter at a time, on
your mum or dad’s back.
Then it’s YOUR turn to try to
FEEL and spell!
Write each of your words on two different
pieces of card. Turn all the cards face down
and mix them up. Lay out your cards in rows)
and flip over two cards at a time. Read each
card aloud to see it they match. Keep them if
they match or flip over and try again!
Make a word search puzzle using
your spelling words.
Use the Discovery School’s
online Puzzle Maker
http://www.puzzlemaker.com.
Then find your words!
Write a song or rap that
includes your words!
Share with a friend or family
member.
Take a practice test. Have your Mom or
Dad ask you to spell your spelling words.
Write them on a list. Check your
practice test and correct any missed
words. This would be an especially
good activity to complete the night
before a test!
Use old magazines, catalogs, or
newspapers to cut out letters.
Glue the letters down on a piece of
paper to spell your words.
*Helpful Hint: Cut out lots of extra
letters. Store them in a Ziploc bag for
future use. This is a huge timesaver!
