    Say each word slowly and clap the syllables before writing. Hearing the parts is half of spelling a long word.

    Keep the rule box visible while doing the doubling and y-to-i sheets, then cover it for the second half.

  3. 3

    Use the spelling test practice page every week with the words sent home from school.
