So I've taken the SIP (Spelling in Parts) strategy by Debbie A. Powell and Roberta Aram (2008) and tweaked it a little to make it a little more physical for my kinesthetic learners. Now instead of just circling the syllables they will be cutting the word up and using a fun foldable to learn the word. You can download the foldable for free at the bottom of this post.
Steps
1. Say and clap your spelling word's syllables.
2. Cut the word into syllables and say the syllable as you separate them into each flap.
3. Say a syllable and then spell each syllable one at a time.
4. Choose one syllable to cover up that is the easiest for you to spell.
5. Keep on spelling the word, a syllable at a time, and covering the flaps, easiest to hardest, until all of the flaps are down and you can spell the word without looking.
