A spring-inspired word work activity to encourage your little learners to practice their spellings! Click here, if you would like to see examples and how I implemented this task in my classroom.
How do you use this Word Work activity?
Fill in each section of the egg with a different tricky word. Write the word as many times as possible in each section. Using different colours for each spelling will make the end result colourful and vibrant. I recommend using gel pens, scented pens, glitter pens - anything extra that can encourage your little one to practise spelling and make the experience as fun as possible! Display their finished picture so that they can see their spellings regularly.
This activity can be used for a variety of different ages/abilities as you can select the spellings to practice. Initially, I recommend having the words written out for them to access as they practice the spelling.
Why should you use Word Work activities?
When your little learners write their spelling repeatedly and frequently, it can help with the memorization of those spellings. This is particularly important for tricky words, which cannot be easily segmented with phonics (broken down into sounds). Word work tasks are a method to support spelling practice and should be used alongside other methods.
