Spelling Units
By clicking the link below you will be taken to a website which includes all of our spelling units. All units have a concept that taught to go along with their ten words. In addition to our standard spelling tests, students will have 3 personal words. These words are differentiated based on their level.
Ways to Make Spelling Fun
1. ABC order- Write your words in alphabetical order.
2. Reversed words- Write your words in ABC order… backwards!
3. Rainbow words- Use three different colors to write your words.
4. Cheer your words- Pretend you are a cheerleader and cheer out your words (and spell them too!) to an adult. Write this in the box as your choice and have someone sign their name to say they listened to you cheer your words!
5. Backwards words- Write your words forwards, then backwards!
6. Silly sentences- Use all of your words in 10 sentences.
7. Pyramid words- Write your words adding one letter at a time. The result will be a pyramid shape of words!
Example: star
s
st
sta
star
8. Disappearing words- Write each word, then write it again but leave one letter out… then write it again and leave TWO letters out… then three… until your word has disappeared!
Example: cowboy
cowboy _owboy __wboy ___boy ____oy _____y _____
9. Computer fun- Use your computer to type your words. Use different fonts and make it look really fun! Be sure you print it out and bring it in your HORSE! Or you can type your words in an e-mail to me too, if you want- ____________________
10. Air Words- Use your finger to write each word in the air. Have a parent do the same. See if you can figure out their word! Write this in the box as your choice and have someone sign it to say you spelled your words in the air.
11. Other Handed- If you are right handed, write your words with your left hand! If you are left handed, write your words with your right hand!
