Help Your Student Become a Better Speller

Your teen may no longer take weekly spelling tests. But spelling is still important.

To help her improve her spelling:

  1. Play word games together. Games like Scrabble® let kids experiment with different spellings and get instant feedback.
  2. Nurture your teen’s love of reading. Reading exposes students to correct spelling.
  3. Encourage your teen to write in journals, letters, etc. Writing gives students a chance to practice spelling rules.
  4. Make sure your teen has a dictionary within easy reach, either in book form or online.
  5. Don’t be overly critical. Just concentrate on improving spelling over time.
