Does your child enjoy practicing those weekly spelling words? Writing the words five times each isn’t all that fun, and may not be all that effective. When you involve different senses, turn spelling practice into a game, or simply change it up — your child will have an easier time mastering those words!
Today I’m sharing five fun ways to practice spelling words.
Thanks for sharing all your wonderful learning ideas at last week’s After School Link Up! This week I’m featuring some fun spelling activities.

I am not a huge fan of spelling lists per say, but these are a great way to practice so many different things in addition to spelling!

Great ideas, as always! We had a very successful spelling practice in the bath the other night with shaving cream on the wall. My son asked if we could do it every night!!
