    Spelling Activities

     

    ABC Order- Writing your words in alphabetical order. For example:
                         (shed, follow, just, cape) would be: cape, follow, just, shed.
     
    Sentences: Writing each word in a sentence. Make sure you underline the  word in the sentence. For example: if you word is trust.
    I trust you to take care of my puppy this weekend.
     
    Rainbow Words: Choose 5 different colored crayons. Write each word in each color crayon. You will end up writing the words 5 times each. For example: I chose the colors red, green, blue, yellow, purple. If my word is "take" then I write the word "take" take taketake take take.
     
    Telephone Spelling: The worksheet has the numbers you would see on a push button telephone. Above each number there are 3 letters. Spell out your spelling word by writing the number for each letter. For example: if my word is "reach" I look on the sheet and the letter "r" coordinates with the number 7, so I write down 7. The letter "e" coordinates with the number 3, so I write down 3 next to the 7. The letter "a" coordinates with the number 2, so I write down 2 next to the number 3~and so on. My number for the word "reach" is: 73224.

Write each word indicating which letters of the words are vowels and which are consonants. For example: if my word is "friend"  and my color choices are black for consonants and pink for vowels. I would write it like this: friend.
