Spelling Made Fun ... Using Crossword Puzzles

Again I can take no credit for this, this was all the doing of our amazing tutor for Cole.  She took home Cole's spelling words of the week and inserted them into a Instant Online Crossword Puzzle maker program.  

I NEVER thought about the meaning behind the words and I would have to go over that too with Cole.  YUP Mother of the year award ... lol.  Yes they have test on the meaning of the words and he needs to know that also.  I just quizzed him  on the spelling words.  Yes this again is why we have a tutor!

So mom's here is another fun way to do the spelling words with your kids.  You can just print out the puzzle, but our tutor is a bit like me and on the OCD controlling side and made her's by hand.

Spelling Made Fun ... Using Alphabet Cookies

Some of you who follow me on facebook know about a great gal we have that tutor's Cole.  She really is a saint with Cole and has found different ways to help him want to learn with his ADHD.  She actually did a bunch of internet searching to find ways that help kids with ADHD learn.  She came up with this really cool and inexpensive way to learn his spelling words.  He loves this game and really it's fun for him.  I take no credit in this but had to share.

She went to the dollar tree and picked up a box of these alphabet cookies they are in a rather large box so you have several letters in there.  She then lays them out and he spells the word and she confirms if he did it correct or if he needs to redo and grab a different letter.  So much better then the pen and paper I was doing and the stern look to get this going dude :).
