These are some of the same skills used in Spelling Bees and not only help a child learn to spell, but teach them to listen to themselves and think clearly. Listen to the word carefully. Say the word, out loud, and listen to yourself say it. Concentrate on listening to the specific sounds in the word. Begin by writing the letters needed for each sound heard.
Students can improve spelling by creating word family lists as new rules are learned.
