Making Words





Each week we have a new list of words from the word wall. I try to give my kiddos time to practice three to four times a week. Here is a list of the ways we practice writing our words. 

  • Stamps- use letter stamps to make the words
  • Lego spelling- make words with Legos
  • Sand writing- write the words in a bucket of sand using your finger or a stick
  • Pen, Pencil, Marker, Crayon- write the word 4 times using 4 different writing utensils
  • Playdoh words- roll out the playdoh like a snake and shape it into letters
  • Tile mix up- use letter tiles to spell the words
  • Yarn writing- cut pieces of yarn to make the letters for each word, glue to paper
  • Rainbow writing- using  cray pas write the words on black paper
  • Water color writing- write words with white cray pas on white paper paint over with water colors (water color will not stick to the cray pas)
  • Graffiti- on roll paper write the words big and in fun fonts
  • Dot writing- use paint and q-tips to write the words with each letter made of dots
  • Magna words- make the words out of magnetic sticks and balls
