Sharing Strategies* Read, Read, Read! Practice each word by first carefully reading the word. Note each letter and its position in the word. Doing this makes the brain form an image of the word. * Charts with patterns to avoid spelling lists.* See It, Hear it, Say ItPractice, practice, practice. Involving several senses in the learning process can really speed up word-acquisition.
