My Project

How many times have we needed to double-check our spelling when writing emails or sending letters? With the influence of iPhones and autocorrect, spelling words correctly is become a lost skill set. But what if students had a mini booklet that helped them keep track and correctly spell words they use often?

With your help, my students can flex their spelling muscles and keep an updated record of how to spell new/commonly used words correctly.

Your donations will help my students get individual journals with alphabetized headings to help them organize and spell words correctly. My students will strengthen their referencing skills and independence level when they can use their spelling journals to self-edit when writing. Thank you so much for your help!
