OTHER HANDED

Write each word 5 times, switching the hand you write it with each time. Say the word as you spell it.  


ARTY SPELLING

Cut out letters from newspapers and magazines and spell your spelling words. Stick them into a piece of paper and bring them to class.


DICTIONARY RACES

Choose a word and time yourself to see how long it takes you to find it in a dictionary. See if you can beat that time the next day!
