PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Remember the basic instructions?
- Say the word/Say the rule
- Spell the word (write it down)
- Say the word again
- Look away
- Say it/Spell it/Say it--Check it
You will see slides with a spelling list word...
+ there will often be a spelling rule next to it
A) Looking at the screen, say the word out loud...notice the shape of the word, the number of letters, etc...then say the rule out loud...
B) Spell the word (don't just spell letters out loud)--very important: WRITE IT DOWN!
Looking at the screen while writing is not cheating...it is good...writing it properly helps imprint proper spelling in the automatic memory part of your brain...
C) Say the word out loud again when you are done writing it down correctly...
D) Now, look away from the screen, and turn your written word over so it can't be seen either...
E) Using a second sheet of paper, say the word out loud, then spell it by writing it down, then say it out loud one more time...
F) Check your spelling.
If correct, go to the next slide...
Important: if you made a mistake, fix it right away--say the correct letters as you write them down...try the word slide again starting at A)...you will immediately get stronger...
