Are your children frustrated with trying to memorize their spelling words each and every week?
- Write down each spelling word on an index card.
- In a different color (colored pencils work well), trace over the letters in each word that are “the hard part to memorize”.
- Place a rubber band around the index cards and keep them in order from the hardest to the easiest.
- Practice the words every day, focusing on the “hardest words” first.
- Keep these spelling words wrapped in a rubber band after the spelling test is over. Your children may be surprised if their teacher tests them on these words again on a “review” test!
- Good luck!!!!
Here is a sample 4th-grade spelling list:
- each
- gray
- field
- break
- shape
- steep
- prey
- glass
- steak
- cheap
- chief
- champion
- mascot
- fraction
