Spelling Around The Room - A Multi Sensory Spelling Activity

We were super excited to get these small white boards! We used them to categorize our spelling list this past week.

We word mapped then categorized each word the day before. So, we were ready to practice!

This week, we categorized the words by vowel sound (i.e. short 'i', short 'e', short 'a'). Each board had a different vowel sound on it. G then placed the words on the right board as I called them out. The "tricky" words we put on a separate board, then reviewed the English spelling rule that makes these words "tricky".

By placing the boards around the room, G was able to move around a bit. You could even place them farther apart and have your child jump, run, or skip to the right board. If you don't have multiple white boards, you can use small chalk boards, or just sheets of paper! This makes for a great multi sensory spelling activity! You can also use this multi sensory idea for categorizing and reviewing other subjects.
