Spelling-Go-Round is the name given to an activity we do to
practice spelling most Mondays. The name and idea was started by a former
teacher at S-K many years ago, and I have used and tweaked it ever since. It is
an example of multi-sensory instruction that reinforces language teaching in a really powerful way. Using large arm movements, pleasant sensory experiences,
visual, physical, and auditory repetition – all help “lock in” tricky sight
words. Plus, it is a lot of fun!
Here are a few pictures from this afternoon:
