STRATEGY OF THE WEEK

Spelling

Description
Spelling practice -- a regular weekly routine in many classrooms -- easily can become tedious for students and teachers alike. Let's face it; practicing spelling is boring by nature -- right? Wrong! Just a few new strategies and activities can turn your spelling lessons from d-u-l-l to d-y-n-a-m-i-c, and your students' spelling skills from g-r-a-t-i-n-g to g-r-e-a-t!

Learn More About Spelling Lessons That Work
Are you tired of using the same old spelling strategies week in and week out? Are your students bored with their routine spelling tasks? Spice up your spelling lessons -- and improve your students' spelling skills -- with some of the Education World resources below.

Spotlight on Spelling
Each May, the National Spelling Bee is held in Washington, D.C. Since most of your students won't be there, this week we offer lesson plans to help put them there next year. Included: Five new lesson plans, plus links to many more.

Spice Up Your Spelling Lessons
