Matching Letters Spelling Activities

Monday, I talked with a parent who is having difficulty helping her child with spelling. The problem is the child needs extra practice with his weekly spelling words. Initially, spelling involves learning the alphabet and associating letters of the alphabet with words. Spelling at this age usually involves matching the initial sounds of words to specific letters. Her child understands the concept and can do the matching, but needs a lot of practice and creating printed worksheets is extremely time-consuming and the resulting worksheets are not especially appealing to the child. Instead of the printed worksheets, the parent uses FlinkMake to create an interactive worksheet on the computer. It takes only minutes because all the graphics were built in.


The interactive worksheet is much more fun and engaging than the printed worksheets, with an appealing character prodding the child on. The child sees a number of objects and has to click and drag the one that begins with the letter shown in the screen. He can select a picture and hear the word spoken. The parent can make tens of problems in minutes, providing the child with all the problems he needs for that letter.
