[blparent] Teaching Spelling Words

[Judy Jones]

Also, APH might have some great ideas, check out their site, as they 
specialize in educational ideas.  They are thinking of blind kids, but I 
always flipped that, the blind parent with the sighted child.

Hi,

Remus is almost 6 and I bought some plastic letters with braille on them to
teach spellling etc.  He also likes the leapfrog toys, the word wammer is
his favourite right now.  He likes it because it tells him to find a certain
letter to make a word, and has finishing the word games, and starts with
word games, and fill in the middle letter word games.  It's only 3 letters
though which is why now we make our own words with a magnetic board and
magnetic letters.  He also uses his ipod to play word games, which is where
I think he's learning the most right now because of the visual aspect of the
games.  Flash cards are great but I found he wasn't engaged for very long
and didn't learn as much when we used them.

I hope this helps,

Tammy

I have a six-year-old who is really struggling to learn spelling words.  We’ve
tried spelling them aloud, writing them, and playing different games with
flash cards, but she doesn’t seem to retain the information from one session
to the next at all.  She and I are both exasperated.  Have any of you come
across good ideas for doing spelling words with your kids?

evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
