Teacher Resources Teaching Tip: Reinforce Spelling In Your Class By: Teachnology Staff Here are some great tips for reinforcing spelling regardless of your subject area or grade level. Our video features the collaboration of three dozen teachers. Our tips will not only help students learn to spell words, but also visually retain the words. 1. Post the words. 2. Have students "Say" the word. Then "Spell" the word out loud. Then "Write" the word. Finally have students "Draw" a picture of something that represents the word. 3. Have students use the words in a story. 4. Present the words to students in chunks. For example the word together. Present it in three chunks. To-Get-Her. 5. Have students keep a personal spelling journal. Any words they have trouble with go in the journal. 6. Inform parents and guardians of the words by sending home a word list. They can help you from home. 7. Create a "Words I Can't Spell" rule. This Week in History 1494: Christopher Columbus lands in Jamaica. 1780: American Academy of Arts & Science founded.
