Carter's autistic mind works in very specific pathways. Finding a way for him to practice spelling words that he will accept was no small feat. He loves this system! So long, meltdowns!
Here's what I do:
Each day, we write down any words we come across that the kids don't know how to spell. We write them on a chalkboard. Each week, I choose 10-15 words from the chalkboard and create a spelling list. With each word, the boys work through five steps:
1. Say it and spell it
2. Write it
3. Spell it three times.
4. Write it again
5. Close eyes and spell it
I'm sure we will use other
