How to help my child in spelling
-
krazy:
We have been using the spellinganddictation.com website for testing my DD1 on her spelling and dictation. Just need to enter the spelling list and let the website take over the pronunciation of the words during the test. Not sure whether it will work on ipad though as the homepage said that it needed Flash to hear the pronunciation.
You can try these methods.

I adopted this method cuz I found it really a tiring exercise to have my girl write out the words endlessly. You know how we remember images better than individual words, we got her to picture the word as an image rather than just letters on their own.

We broke the word into \"parts\"/ syllabus and it is also effective.
More importantly, these activities made Spelling fun and my girl doesn't reject them as compared to the traditional methods of copying.
Oh yes... for the \"testing\" we would use the iPad. -

Sit with her try to teach her words letter by letter…If she is still facing problem, then tell her to write down the letters and spell it. This will help her a lot…
