I just gave these suggestions to some parents.
HOW TO HELP YOUR CHILD MASTER SPELLINGS
-
Put up new words written clearly on cards on the wall .
-
Ask child to jumble new words.
This will help her to KNOW the letters in the word. -
Make a list of correct and incorrect spellings.
Ask child to encircle the correct word.
This will help her to scrutinize the word carefully–thereby she observes it closely,and remembers it better. -
Use new words in your daily conversation.
This promotes familiarity. -
Please add your ideas.

Keep a dictionary close by. Learn a word a day.
that was what my father prescribed.
A man of letters I presume!
pronounce a word syllable by syllable, it makes things easier. trying to associate the closeness between similar-sounding words… that works too.
I liked the second one very much ,mouna.Kids associate sounds and words well.
It is fun too.
Very nice.
I modified the “anthakashari” and played that game with my junior. It goes some thing like this..
I say the word BAT, junior makes a word starting with T len TEN, I continue N for Nose…. it was full fun and I carefully explained meanings of those words to son and context. He went on playing till we ran out of words mostly starting with E and Y!!
cheers

“Vagz and I play it while travelling in the train too and gradually the other passengers join in too… ”
Trust me, I won’t be around in the same coach if you’re gonna make a journey a word building exercise… there are fun things happening outside!
Just kidding… I never knew train passengers had a way with words… I thought most of them were wayward (pun definitely intended!)
