This is for those readers who are in the land of helping with homework, math and spelling tests, and building model volcanos or Califonia Missions (out of sugar cubes, of course)

1. Give your child a practice quiz, saying each word aloud in an example sentence. Have him write the word down.

2. Ask him to correct the test himself, identifying the words he missed. Now say the missed words aloud while looking at the correct spelling.

3. Ask him to close his eyes and visualize the misspelled word, then spell it out loud.

4. Ask him to write the word again and then check to see if he spelled it correctly. If it’s still wrong, ask him to repeat steps 2 and 3.

5. The night before the test, give him another practice quiz.
