Modified Spelling Activities,| Homophones List

Has your school moved to "Distance Learning?" These spelling activities can be done with independence or very little support, making them great to use at home. Does your school system have a spelling program? If so, does that program meet the needs of your struggling spellers? Are you feeling frustrated, giving your students new words week-to-week, when they haven't learned last weeks words yet?

I wrote these activities for my 4th grade son who struggles with spelling. Many school systems do not have spelling programs for upper elementary students. Many traditional spelling programs do not offer enough support for struggling spellers. After spending much time trying to figure out how to help my son spell better, I came up with these modified activities; using visual supports, scaffolding and much needed repetition. This approach has been very helpful for him. I hope it will be for your students as well!

ABOUT MY MODIFIED SPELLING RESOURCES

The sets are put together using word lists according to initial letters, a-z. 

Each set includes 10 words (plus 5 extra words, for those who want to do more). 

Words are chosen from 4th grade appropriate lists and/or high frequency words. 

In lieu of words beginning with letter x, I have provided a Homophones Set. This set contains two, 10 word spelling lists of common homophones.
