For two players, draw 25 dime-sized circles in the form of a square, with five horizontal and five vertical columns. In each circle write a different letter of the alphabet in haphazard order. The first player places a dime over any circle he chooses. He receives one point for each letter in every word he can coin. The players take turns placing the coin wherever they think they can get the greatest yield in coined words.
Students memorize the correct spelling for words through movement education.
Authentic evaluation is not seeing the words spelled correctly in a weekly spelling test. Those words are too easily decayed by the brain's short term memory after the test is completed. Authentic evaluation would be the use of the words correctly in student writing. Use other assessments than paper and pencil tests to see if words are in long term memory.
