STORY:
My school uses a spelling curriculum called Words Their Way. Last year, we were having a hard time getting students to actually use the spelling words they were learning in their writing. A lot of times they would practice writing words over and over and over in a list and then when they had to use the word in their writing, they would spell it wrong again. So I made a list of activities our students could use that incorporate the spelling words into their writing naturally. This evolved into a biweekly system where students learned new words, practiced using them in their writing and then actually learned how to spell them.
