Spelling Homework Ideas: Vital Skills To Work Out

Spelling does not come naturally to everyone. A lot of people have the most trouble when it comes to spelling. This is a subject that you will need for the rest of your life. On any given day you will be expected to know how to spell certain words in life and you should be able to do to so without having to struggle. Studying for a spelling test can be hard because it is hard to know how to do it right. Here are some tips and tricks that should serve you well when it comes to learning how to spell different words.

What to do

• - Write them down over and over
• - Say the words and letters as you write them
• - Use flashcards

• Write them down

Studies have proven a link between writing things down and being capable of recalling them later. If you have a list of spelling words to memorize you may want to try writing each word ten times. The more you write them the more naturally writing them correctly will come to you later on while taking your test or doing your homework. This technique works well for a lot of people because the repetition of writing the words forms the memories of how to spell them.

• Say the words and letters as you write them

If you write each word down ten times then every time you write a word you should first say the word, then say each letter out loud as you write it down and then say the word again. You may notice that this is how a spelling bee works. They say the word, spell it, then say it again. This is a proven strategy for learning how to spell.

• Use flashcards

After you think that you have written the words down enough times, which may be more times for some then for others, you should write them down on index cards. You can have a parent, sibling or friend hold the cards, say the words and ask you to spell them correctly. Each time you get one wrong you put it in a separate pile so you know which ones you still need more work on. You may even want to use some kind of reward system for doing them right. For example each time you get one right you can eat a piece of candy.
