Do you remember how I taught my son spelling? Here’s another way to teach spelling in a fun way.
All you need is some alphabets printed out on paper.
What I did was to put all the alphabets in the middle of the table and started the activity by asking my children to spell their own names. Boy, were they excited. They started picking the alphabets that made up their names and arrange them.
The activity can be continued with other words. One thing I observed was that the attention span of children is short and thus, the activity cannot be too long.
A short session where children can fully concentrate and benefit is always better than a long session where children are bored and cannot absorb. Let our children learn without stress, without pressure.

Yes, scrabble is fun. If only they can master their words fast, then mummy can play with them too.

i also tot of this... but don't know when to start as I don't really teach my 2 gals on spelling... how to start, har???
Kelly,
You can start with Xuan Xuan now. Whether you like it or not, they still have to learn. Make it into a game with just a few simple words.
This looks like a fun game. I should try it. You are so hardworking!
this is a great idea!!
Mumsgather,
Haha.Never thought I was hardworking. All I think of is how to make them like learning.
Chinnee,
With Wayne around, all sorts of ideas will appear.
