1st Grade Spelling List Practice Activities

One of the best ways to practice spelling words is NOT worksheets. First graders need multisensory input to help with memorization and retention, as they progress through the spelling stages.

The Power Of Multisensory Spelling Practice

We take for granted that first graders are typically quite active. While we understand this to be developmentally appropriate, what research is showing is that movement and hands-on activities actually aid in academic outcomes.

The easiest and most effective way to teach spelling words is to use multisensory practice.
