__These are some ideas to help you study for spelling tests:__  1. If you have a computer, type the words two or three times for practice.

2. Use scrabble tiles or plastic letters bought at a dollar store to spell the words.

3. Take a pre-test at home to see which words you don't know. Learn the hard words first. Spend time on all of the words later. (For example, work on the hardest five words first.)

4. Buy a dry erase board to use for practicing.

5. Be sure to check homework over carefully! Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Litrenta grade spelling homework each week.

6. Orally spell the words.

7. Pour salt into a large baking sheet ~ just enough to cover the bottom. Write the words in the salt.

8. Check out [|Puzzlemaker.com] or [|Spelling City]for some fun spelling practice and games.

9. Play handman with the words.

10. Get some family members together and play a few rounds of SPARKLE!
