spelling

I will come right out and proclaim that I VERY STRONGLY DISLIKE the traditional way of teaching children to spelling in America. I feel this way because it works for a small group of children and for the children that it does not work there is not many good alternatives that are used across the country. I am working with a kiddo right now (in a home setting) who is having a hard time with her spelling tests at school each week. I am not there often to help her so this is for a family to use as word work (I like a more hands on less paper word work in my classroom) I posted the packet to tpt and it is free. Many of the things have been done before or something like it, but this just has everything organized together.


In the packet there are 11 pages. I may someday use these as an option for word work choice during language arts. We will see. Right now I live in the land of crawling so word work is not much of a thought.
