Sometimes it helps kids if they can
use some hands-on strategies to learn their spelling words. There is
something powerful about moving your hands, engaging your brain, and
visually taking in a word. Here are a couple of ideas I have had good
luck with.
Magnetic
letters. They just work well. You can have your kids spell the words
on the refrigerator, a cookie sheet, or some other type of metal
board.
Stamping
the words with alphabet stamps also works well. I think it is powerful
to see the word, find the letter stamp, stamp it, and then have to put
the stamp back in the correct place.
If you have Montessori letters they are a good resource.
Another fun way to learn is to use American Sign Language to spell out your spelling words.

Some other ways:
writing them in shaving cream,
writing them in sand, or
writing them 5 times each on paper.
Happy spelling!
