Spelling Tests

 

Spelling TestsSpelling tests are things that even many parents would not pass with flying colors, but they can still help their children to do well on their spelling tests. Help your child do well on spelling tests – a good speller can go far in life.

First of all, before the actually spelling test, give your child a pre-test. Take your child’s spelling list and read them off to him and have them write them down on a piece of paper. Do not simply let him copy them -- children learn how to spell words by visualizing them in their minds. Use the word in the sentence and repeat it if your child needs to. It is best to give the pre-test in the same way that the teacher would give the actual spelling tests.

Now, your child should correct his spelling test. He can focus on just the words that he misspelled or the ones that he had trouble with. To help him prepare for his spelling test, have him follow these next steps:

• Say the word while looking at it.
• Close your eyes and visualize the word. Now spell the word out loud.
• Now look at the word to see if you have spelled it out loud correctly.
• Look at the word, then cover the word and write it out.
• Check and see if you have written the word correctly. Repeat these four steps until the word is spelled correctly.
• Say the word and spell the word out loud multiple times. Use the word in the sentence. If you hear the word throughout the day, stop and spell it.

After studying all of the misspelled words, give your child one more practice test before the actual spelling test. Give him a final spelling test with all the words. If he passes this spelling test, he is sure to do well on the spelling test the next day.
