The best way to learn to write is to WRITE, WRITE, WRITE!!
 
Let your child see and write things with you daily (grocery lists, recipes, reminders, etc.)
 
We will be working on writing sentences this year. Capitalization and punctuation will be emphasized. Don't be too concerned with spelling as you assist your child.....foster their creativity...we will work on the spelling as we go along! :-)

Spelling Practice Ideas:
 
Write the word 5 times
 
Take a practice test
 
Create a word search/crossword puzzle
 
Write a sentence using the word
 
Flashcards
 
Write the words in ABC order
 
Write and draw a picture of each word
