A Call for Help

So I have a call for help out there...

Nick struggles with spelling something fierce. Each week he is given fifteen words to learn. By test day on Friday he can orally spell each word properly, but he always fails the written test. I just don't understand how someone can correctly spell words out loud but then we end up with e's where a's should be when it comes to writing.

Any suggestions?

Can you give him written quizzes at the end of each day of practice? Say 8 words a night so he has to write them a few times each before the test. It's a test-taking lapse, not a spelling lapse. Email me if you want some test taking tips for him

I used to write and rewrite the words as I was learning them and then my mom would do a written test the night before the spelling test. I was able to spell outloud and in writing ...might be an idea.

Have you had him tested for dyslexia? It seems he knows the spelling, but can't write it out. If that's the case there are all sorts of learning straegies that can be applied.

I found your blog through the randomizer and like it - I hope you don't mind if I add you ro my blog roll.
