    Great spelling ideas. I try to have my daughter learn them visually on paper, but I also have her spell them out loud without writing the words down. She likes to spell the word while jump roping and if she messes up she starts over. Plus she is getting exercise and it doesn't feel like exercise. I really enjoyed your lens...thanks for sharing!

    spelling was always the hardest subject for me in school.

    I am out of my neighborhood and flying over homeschooling today as an angel. I have found many of your lenses and have blessed some of them but all of them are very helpful. This is another one that appeals to me with a 4th grader who won't take the time to learn to spell. Great ideas and since we are going to homeschool for next year, something that I am saving. Angel blessed!

    We use some of these spelling activities in our homeschool, but see some new ones to try as well! Blessed!

    Great ideas! Can you share with me where you got the font on the pdf of spelling activities?
    thanks

    I think those black letters with flowers (on the heading) came from Microsoft Clipart. Each letter was an image.

    Thanks Jimmie- I love this lens! We will be officially starting Spelling-as an official subject- in August, and I want to learn as much as I can beforehand to help my dd succeed and enjoy it. Spelling was one of my best subjects but I just wasn't sure I could teach it, especially in a way that would cause my little one to love it. This lens has definitely given me some great ideas- ones I know my dd will love!
    Thanks again!!!

    Great lens and ideas.

    Wow! Thanks so much for this. This is definately 5*. I have found that the squidoo spell check has improved my terrible spelling. When a word shows up in red I play with it until the red goes away. I am really getting better!

    Great lens, my boys would have loved some of these ideas to help them with their spelling.

    Thanks Jimmie. We homeschool our children and are always looking for ways to improve. I'll implement some of your spelling ideas right away, especially for my daughter who is a hands-on learner.
  • juditht Aug 21, 2008 @ 2:47 pm | delete
    These ideas are great especially for a right brained thinker like my daughter. Also the best way to teach children is to teach them without them realizing they are being taught.

    Great idea, great and fun lens. Spelling isn't really done over here in France in the way it is done in many other -even francophone- country. We rely on dictation solely and it doesn't work for everyone. Spelling out loud is something just as valuable as spelling on paper, but that simple truth doesn't seem to have reached us yet... lol
    Keep it up!!

    Great lens Jimmie! Here are some ideas we have used over the years.
    1. Dry erase on a window or mirror
    2. colored pencils on graph paper, crossword style
    3. Spell words into a tape recorder (they loved this)
    4. Labelmaker

    I used Spelling Power all the way through and it was the easiest most pain free spelling program I ever tried.

    Thanks for sharing,
