Hands-on learning is an important part of our classroom. One way we like to practice our spelling words is literally "hands-on"! The kids work with a partner to clap each letter to a rhythmic beat.
The Hand Clap Spelling Game is really fun and the kids don't groan when I annouce that it's time for spelling. One of my goals for this year is to teach spelling in a way that everyone can be successful - that means involving as many senses and learning techniques as possible.When students can see, hear, say, and touch the letters in a word, they are more likely to remember how it is spelled.
