Fresh from the experientially-based Waldorf teaching tradition, here's a great plan for teaching spelling in your classroom or at home!
Jeremy Herrmann offers simple ideas for systematic, hands on (or in-hand!) spelling practice to help children make sense of difficult English language spelling words. As a small jewel in the crown of language arts skills to offer children, Herrmann offers in this little booklet lively ideas for teaching children how to spell right through to the eighth grade. In addition to sharing techniques for spelling, the exercises and ideas in this booklet will also help a student to read, since the teaching of spelling goes hand-in-hand with sounding, which in turn helps the young reader to understand the sounds being spelled.
