Many of the students that I'm tutoring this summer are all struggling with the same thing: Spelling. The bring 10 spelling words home and test on Friday just isn't working for them.
I do have a great phonics activity called Pirate word ladders, that can help students start thinking about different spelling patterns but I want tons more ideas.
So my new project this summer is to focus on spelling instruction. I'm going to go on a professional reading spree about the subject and share my thoughts and creations with you. My first goodie that I've found is at the Teachem2think site. About half way down the page is a great chart on fun ways to practice spelling.
