Debunking Spelling Myths: Effective Strategies for Enhancing Your Child's Spelling Skills

Discover how to help your child excel in spelling through word study rather than cramming. Current research indicates that students achieve long-term spelling skills by exploring patterns in words. Traditional memorization often leads to short-term retention, while understanding patterns makes it easier for students to apply their knowledge to unfamiliar words. Use resources like Spelling City and engage in fun activities like creating words with playdough or letter beads to reinforce learning! Find helpful links and nightly activities to support your child's spelling journey.
