Creative Homeschool Spelling Test

1/26/2015

1 Comment

 
One of the biggest challenges of homeschooling (for me at least) is always  coming up with new and creative ways to keep my children engaged and excited about learning.  Spelling tests are one of the areas that usually elicit a groan or two from children who do not want to take them.  I have tried rewards (A+ on spelling equals a trip to the treat jar) but sometimes there is still just a bit of groaning involved. 

 We have developed a new way to do our tests though that actually has my 11 y/o and 9 y/o children excited to take their tests.  Dry erase markers and windows.  I mean, when in school can you watch your horse graze on her hay while spelling your words?  The best part is that the dry erase markers just wipe off clean from the window.  It just changes things up a bit and keeps it fun.
