You can do it two ways...have the kids use the letters on the number keys to create "phone numbers" for each spelling word (i.e. the phone number for "cat" would be 228). Or you can give them the phone numbers and they have to figure out the word (which is obviously more challenging...better for your higher achievers) I used to do this with my students and they loved it. After they created the phone number or figured out the word, they had to pretend to dial the phone number for that word on the pretend phone and tell the "receiver" a sentence using that spelling word.Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07981541868577146101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309912989038119423.post-58462873050545795382011-01-23T18:50:10.870-07:002011-01-23T18:50:10.870-07:00In addition to some of the activities you posted I...In addition to some of the activities you posted I have my students:<br /><br />• rainbow write their words. They have to write the word with different colors. <br />• They also write them 3 times each. When they write their words they HAVE to say each letter & then the word when they finish.<br />• They clap & spell. They clap for each letter in the word as they say the letter. When they finish they say the word. <br />• They also get to write their words on a dry erase board & they take a picture with their pretend camera. Then they put that picture in their brain. owEow that's more than I thought I had. <br /><br />Ms. M<br />www.msk1ell.blogspot.comMs.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03426159534525251722noreply@blogger.com
