Spelling is always a tricky subject. Some students "get it" so easily - and others struggle with basic words. I am a believer in studying high frequency words - with review of sound/symbol patterns found within those words. The lists themselves can be expanded according to individual student needs. I made Choice Boards this year that not only give the student practice in whatever words are assigned to them, but also provide practice in many language arts skills, such as figurative language, genre, parts of speech, and writing dialogue. Killing two birds with one stone is the only way to go. The Choice Boards used with my fifth graders are available at my Teachers-Pay-Teachers store. Hopefully, you will find them helpful - and a time saver!
