I would like to share this useful plan for helping your child to learn spelling:
1) Pronounce the word correctly and carefully. Never try to teach a word unless you know what it means.
2) Say the word in syllables.
3) Have him take the letters that make up the word from the stack and put them on the table in syllables.
4) If he makes a mistake, help him correct the mistake. Say the word again slowly so he can hear the mistake. Encourage him to do as much as possible for himself.
5) When he has the word correctly placed in syllables, ask him to push the word together to make it a whole word.
6) Say the word as a whole.
7) Talk about the meaning of the word.
8) Ask him to spell the word without looking at it, if possible.
9) When he can spell it without looking at it, have him put the letters back and then write the word.
10) Have him use the word orally in a sentence.
11) Last, have him write a sentence using the word.
