Use scrabble letters for them to arrange their vocabulary words with or stack styrofoam cups with the letters on them! Love this!
We sometimes do a spelling "bee" on the stairs. Each time they spell a word correctly they can step up one step. If they make it to the top before I run out of words they get a piece of candy. If we didn't get to all they words we can use the remaining ones in a new game that day or another day.
Also... Hangman! So fun!
Thanks for the inspiration! I am definitely snagging some of yours. ☺
I'm a teacher candidate and I find this very creative and fun. I will for sure try to use these methods in my future classrooms.
Love your teacher tips. What works for my 1st grader is reading her spelling words then writing them one time Monday-Thursday and spelling the word with her magnet letters which I prepare ahead for her. We underline two letter sounds to help her remember them, and I write those on the top of her paper as well and go over them. On Friday she can figure out how to spell them usually, and if she struggles I give her cues to help her figure it out. When she was in Kindergarten, I would use bottle water caps with letters on them and I would use an index card with 1-3 lid circles on them and I would ask her to sound off the word to figure out how to spell it and place the letter lids where they belong.
Thanks for the ideas! I'm going to try to multicolored one tonight with my daughter . She's in 3rd grade and really struggles, bad, with spelling every single week. I'm so glad I'm finally turned to CZcams for help videos and found this one. Thank you so much! 💓
Hey mine is six and off to 1st grade this year. He doesn’t know how to spell words. Is he too late for that?
My daughter loves to write her words in sidewalk chalk then erase them with water balloons. We also have a spelling tree where she writes the words on leaves and decorates the tree. We do a different activity everyday then do the test on Friday. She typically has them down by the end of the week and she is in 2nd grade.
That's what I was thinking for my first grader....do a different activity each day and then test on Friday.
So cute!
Oh my goodness, we do this too!! So much fun!
Wow you’re so creative!! Thanks for the inspiration! 😄

I love all these ideas!! I have struggling learners and many of these will help. Thank you
THANK YOU! My kids definitely learn best the more senses we involve. I love all of these ideas esp spelling with bouncing the ball and rainbow writing I think my kids will enjoy!! ❤❤❤ I'm going to watch this again and take notes ☺❤
One Blessed Mommy yay! I’m so glad it was helpful for you 😊
Great video. We have a 7 and 10yr old who loves to read but hates writing and spelling. I’ll definitely try to implement a few ideas :)
My boys are the same. Which ones worked for you?
Great ideas! We love using large legos to build and form words. Our little guy thinks he is playing instead of doing a "reading lesson" which makes it even better! 😊
So excited to give these a try. I love the 5-4-3-2-1 idea and the rainbow, sand and ball idea. Great for little wiggle worms 😊
Things clicked when we learned based on syllables by using cursive we separate the words in those syllables. We just do it when we introduce it for the first time. Then “Say Spell Say.” We also use the picture word on index. Thank you for video! I plan to use rainbow+5-4-3-pre test... I think it would help motivate
Hi Mandy, you're amazing. Love the pretest on Thursday and if she misses she takes a retest on Friday. Love it. We're taking this one. What we do is from Monday to Thursday she has to learn the word, look it up in the dictionary to learn the meaning because what does it help to spell it right and not even know what it means so she does that and then on Friday we take the test and what we do is while I say the word and she writes it down, we make up sentences with that word to kind of rehash everything we've learned in the week. My daughter loves it. Thank you for the pretest idea. Love from sunny South Africa.
These are wonderful ideas! I will definitely be implementing some of these.
We just started using flash cards for my 2nd grader... I am going to incorporate having him draw a picture on the back. He is going to love that, as well as rainbow writing! thanks!
Really great tips! I was needing some ideas for spelling it's been getting a little boring lately for my kiddos :)
These are great ideas! I love these. I love videos like this. Thanks so much!
Using the sand tray alot. Also sometime use sand paper. But that was actually when we started learning the letters. Thanks for all the tips. Really helpful
Brilliant! I am a trainee teacher and will be using these ideas thank you so much.
Thank you, will test these to see which works! Love the ideas, learn spelling but developing other talents!
My little girl will live rainbow writing for sure! I think if we can add glitter to it, she would totally get spelling fast 😅 She loveeeees glitter. Great ideas Thank you
Thank you so much for these fun ideas!
Thank you! Trying them all to see what works best for my son.
My kids love when I give them a "test" and have them write the words on their white boards, then they check their work when I spell the correct spelling out loud. So they also hear me spelling it. It's not too creative, but they like doing it so it works. My kids are in 1st and 2nd grade.
Amazing! Such great tips! Really appreciate your taking the time to make this :)
well done you-great ideas! sending thanks from the UK!
So many great ideas!! I’m so boring!! Thank you! ☺️
Thank you! Going to use the shaving cream
Thank you for this video!
My kid enjoys searching for her spelling words throughout the room.
Each word that she finds she reads then spells it.
That’s amazing, thank you!
Absolutely LOVE them ALL! New teacher here; will certainly be implementing RAINBOW 🌈 WRITING with my 1st Graders when I get in this morning! THANK YOU☺️💓
Thank you for the great new ideas!! 🥰
Thanks very much too teacher love you
Thanks for the tips! I liked them all this was very helpful!
Very effective methods. I started teaching my students using the rainbow method and in no time, they could write almost any elementary word I dictate to them.
I really appreciate this video. I have a five-year-old in kindergarten. We need a fun way to do sight words.
Thank you for the cool ideas!
Thank you very much for such innovative ideas!
❤❤❤❤
We have not found a way that works for us yet. My favorite that you said was bouncing the ball back and forth. I plan to try that one first.
Love your videos!
Thanks for that. My son is 7 and cannot seem to retain the spelling words hopefully these tips will help.
Thank you!
I use the say spell say, doodle pad, magnetic letters, and flash cards to help my kiddos. It might be over kill but it seems to help.
thank you for sharing
Thank you so much. I need this
You teach children well
Good video. Thank you!!
My 8yr old does best with ACE's paces because they are focusing on the same words for a whole booklet(i guess by repetition) and my 13 yr old loves "Doodle Definitions", which is similar to the index card idea you had(which I will definitely be using!) This video was great🥰
Thanks for the video ❤
Thank you for the bouncing ball activity with spelling. It will greatly help my very physical student. I will tell you if it works.
It absolutely worked. Why? The learner felt like she was playing. She now knows how to spell the 20 words that she formerly struggled with. Our next issue is getting her through anxiety of test.
Thanks for the upload
Good tips!
I am going to primary 4

We like to play around the world where each correct word they get to move spots. This works great with multiple kiddos/grades because each can do their own lists. I love the idea of typing them, my daughter will like that! Thanks so much!
Thank you very much
I have to try the sand one next since my child also likes sensory items.
Magnet letter or stamp letters.
Hi, does anyone have tips for kids that hate writing so much they refuse point plank and it's an awful stand off and then the spellings don't get done? Im definitely going to try the sand and shaving cream
My boys hate writing.. letter tiles and or letter magnets are great. So for mine.. we have letter magnets that came with an organizer so it’s easy to find the letter they need, when they need to write the spelling word in their workbook I instead say that I will let them use the magnets as long as they say the word, spell the word, say the word.. and then they put a check mark where the word would go.
@@mamawarriorprincessdaughte797 that sounds amazing! I never did this trick in the end! But I did try scribble spellings, where you scribble draw gaps and do the spellings in the cavities you make. Such a relief from 5 months ago my daughter can magically read and spell and write. I think it's a development thing.
@@semolinasemolina8327 we have letter cubes also.. that stick together Amazon has a lot of great tools.

Love the typing idea/ My 13yr old nephew will love the Sonic drawing idea.
Thank you for these tips. I'm homeschooling my kids and always looking for little tips and tricks to help encourage them to keep going! ;-)
I'm curious about how many words you'd suggest to work on, with kids each week? I have a kindergartner and a 2nd grader.
Mandy thank you for your videos. They have been a big help this year. It is our first year homeschooling, and my daughter is struggling with cursive writing. The public school she went to did not teach it, and we are using abeka this year so she has it. Any suggestions to make it easier. Thank you. Dave
Cursive takes time, for sure. My son was the same when I took him out of public school. I'd shoot for no longer than 15 minutes a day, and make sure to give lots of encouragement. My youngest started cursive in first grade, and now in 4th grade, he has better handwriting than me. My oldest struggled in this area, but it's gotten better each year. It took quite a while though, because he was never taught cursive in school, so he started late. Lots of praise, encouragement, and practice.
I had to speed it up to finish the video. Thanks
How do you decide or pick, what the spelling words for the week should be?
Most language arts curriculum will have some kind of spelling with it. Our Abeka has spelling built in.
Do you have any spelling curriculum recommendations for first grade? Or would you even use a curriculum at this age?
I am really young, but I really want to prepare my 2nd grader cousin for NAPLAN next year and she can't even read! So instead of being mad at her I want to help her😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊💕💕💕
It's really a great information.But you didn't tell about phonics ..Is phonics necessary or not in spelling?I want to teach my daughters
MINI TRAMPOLINE (or mattress)

Say spell say. Rainbow writing
I am struggling with my daughter's spelling. She finds it so monotonous but I am trying the rainbow spelling
Already what have you do that test my 📜 homework
Hi there, Mandy!
Great video; I made it to the end! :)
In our family, my wife’s (2) x sisters are both teachers.
…in recent discussion with one of them, she had mentioned how she believes my invented product (US Patent Pending) TI’TAINS card holders/connectors could be used as a bit of a teaching/learning/educational aid-essentially holding/displaying flash cards (with letters, etc), where they can be manipulated-for spelling, etc purposes.
If you’d be interested-and, think you could/would use them with your kiddos-I’d LOVE to send you some samples of them!
Thanks and have a great day!
