Spelling for kids. It isn’t always easy to teach your kids to spell,or help your children to learn the alphabet.As parents or educators what can be done to help teach your kids with their spelling?Are there any spelling activities or spelling games that be doneto familiarize kids with spelling of common, everyday words?Can you accelerate your child’s learning curve and actually helpchildren learn to spell faster?
 
The answer is YES! Obviously you need to familiarize your child,children or preschoolers with the letters of the alphabet first.Children need to recognize what the letter looks like, how it isprinted and how you say it’s name.Doing exercises and quizzing your children on letters will workwonders with regards to them learning letters.One thing you can do as parents or teachers is as follows.Write out each letter of the alphabet. You could write ‘1’ largeletter of the alphabet on a piece of paper or Bristol board (it’s abit more durable.)The letters could be made big and bold using a thick, blackpermanent marker or paint. You would want to use rhymes toteach your childrenthe order of the letters of the alphabet while you show each letter in itsproper order. You could use these to ‘quiz’ your children or preschoolers.It would probably be best to quiz the children by showing themthe chosen letter (starting at A) and continuing through thealphabet, again all in order until they have a solid understandingof the order of the letters of the alphabet. You could ‘quiz’ them further and give them examples of wordsthat start with the ‘letter you are showing’.For example, “A is for apple, ape, ant”. You could name a fewthen have them try to list a few names that they may think startwith the letter you are showing.Practice makes perfect. Remember, this isn’t going to happenright away!
 
 You have to help to really make them understand the letters, theorder in which they come in the alphabet and how you say them.After that time giving examples of simple wordsthat start withthe chosen letter really help them to advance that much more. You could also use words found in the newspaper or words inmagazines to quiz your child. You could cut out big, bolded words and have an assortment of short words to start (Ex.) cat, dog, hat, boat etc.Have them move from ‘left’ to ‘right’ and go one letter at a time tosay each ‘letter’ as it appears.This really helps to make it fun and challenging for kids. It isnice to really ‘praise’ them up when they identify each ‘letter’ asit appears moving from the left side to the right side.After you have done this for a while you can start working onhelping them to sound words out etc. You don’t want to move too quickly, but you want to really helpyour children to develop the basics first, then, expand on thosespelling and letter identification skills.*It is good to also have your child practice printing letters, lower and upper case.
