Enrichment Ideas

Once your students have completed the $pelling worksheets here, encourage them use this idea for even more spelling fun. 

For instance, ask each student to make a list of three items on a related topic (animals, colors, names, foods, etc.), find the value for each word, and then find the sum of all three.        

Then ask the student to give his list to a friend or family member. Have the friend try to make another list of three words for the same topic with a higher or lower sum.

No doubt, you and your students will think of lots more ways to have fun with this concept!
