I use what I call “Build-Write-Say” spelling to help my students master their weekly spelling words. During my reading center rotations, I present the words to the students (my spelling words are differentiated according to what phonics skill the group is working on) during the teacher-led group. Then, for a follow-up center, I give each student in the group a tub of letters, a tray or magnetic board, and a piece of handwriting paper. The students have to “build” each word with the letters, write each word 3 times, and then say each word to a partner. The students’ spelling test scores greatly improved after using this method–most of the students make a 90% or better each week.
