February Word Work Homework Activities Choose a strategy from the list below to practice your work wall sight words and word family words. Read all directions carefully. You can do the same activity more than once. One night you can use the words of the week, then another night you can use words with the word family chunk! 1. Rainbow Words Write each work of the week or chunk word with a pencil. Trace over the word at least 3 times using a different color marker, pencil, or crayon each time. As you trace the word, say the spelling in your head to help you remember. 2. Mix It, Fix It Use the letter squares to make each word of your words, one at a time. When you make each word, mix it and fix it at least three times. You may mix and fix more than 3 times to help you visualize the word. When you think you can spell the word without looking at it, write it down. Check your spelling. If you did not write it correctly, practice “mix it, fix it” a few more times. *Keep your letters in a baggie and put them in a safe place to be used throughout the year. 3. Fontabulous Write each spelling word in different ways. Examples: BIG, small, squiggly, shadow, block, etc. Write each word 3 times. If you have a computer, use three different fonts to practice each word. 4. Word Frames Write each spelling word. Draw a letter frame around each letter in your word. Pay attention to the tall letters and letters with tails. 5. Chant, Clap, Write Chant or clap the letters of your spelling words. (when chanting and clapping contractions, snap your fingers for the apostrophe) Next, write each letter as you chant it. Write each word 2 times. 6. Letter Hunt Look through magazines and newspapers and hunt for the letters that make each of your spelling words. Cut them out and glue them together to make the words of the week or works with the chunk of the week. 7. Type the Words Type each of the week’s words on the computer. Print out your list and glue it in your journal. 8. ABC Order Write the words of the week in ABC order or choose some words with the word family chunk and write them in ABC order. 9. Write Telling or Question Sentences Write a sentence using the words of the week. Decide if it is a telling sentence or a question. Put the appropriate punctuation at the end of the sentence. Each sentence should contain at least one of the words for the week. Try Some of These New Activities: 10. Write Definitions Use a dictionary to write a definition for each of your spelling words. Each word should have at least one definition. 11. Step Words Write each word starting with the one letter, then two letters, then three letters, until you end up with the word you are trying to spell. ex. truck t tr tru truc truck Can you see the steps going up and down? 12. Spelling City This is a free website we have used in school. Go to www.spellingcity.com and type in this week’s new words.
