Scrabble Will Make You Spellbound at Your Child’s Spelling Skills

pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. It isn’t what pops up on your screen after your cat jumps onto the keyboard. Actually, it’s the longest word that is included in major and minor English dictionaries. What does it mean? The term refers to a lung disease that results from breathing in a certain kind of dust from volcanoes. However, there is an extremely interesting fact about the creation of the word. In 1935, Everett Smith, the National Puzzlers’ League’s president, created this longest English word for one specific reason: to create the longest word! If you and your child live in Millersburg Ohio, you may want to help improve your child’s spelling. But if you yourself always rely on a spellchecker to avoid making spelling errors, how can you guide him or her?

Recently, spelling bees have made a comeback. The documentary Spellbound (2003); and the films Bee Season (2005), and Akeelah and the Bee (2006) are all based on the culture of regional and national spelling bees. I have watched and enjoyed all three works. While many of the words spelled in them are truly amazing, the culture of formal spelling bees, which can take place in Amish Holmes County Ohio and elsewhere—was truly amazing. If you want your child to succeed in an upcoming spelling bee, or simply to improve his her spelling, here are some effective methods:

1. Small words become big words. As a resident of Millersburg Ohio or other location, your child (and you) may struggle with words that seem very long and difficult. Remember that about half of English is based on Greek and Latin. Teach your child to spell big words, by breaking them into smaller words or parts of words. For example, the word “extraordinary” includes the prefix “extra” and the word “ordinary.” This method can help your child to spell brand new words!

2. Learn how your child learns. Children learn differently, so use a technique that will benefit your child the most. Flash cards are ideal for children who learn best by seeing. For those who learn best by doing, have them spell words by writing them out. And for those who learn best by hearing, record how various words are spelled out correctly.

3. Do not memorize the dictionary overnight. Whether your child is preparing for a spelling quiz, or a regional spelling bee somewhere such as in Millersburg Ohio, remember that Rome was not built in a day. Also, studies have shown that cramming rarely results in high quiz or test scores. Studying a little bit every evening will produce better results.

4. Fun and games (and learning). Break out your Scrabble board game or Junior Scrabble Interactive, and play with your child. Children learn by doing, and whether your child lives in Millersburg Ohio or elsewhere, this game is a great hands-on way for your kid to boost his or her spelling skills. One of the board game’s best features is allowing players to look up certain words, in order to challenge another player’s spelled word.

5. Hold a mock spelling bee. The best time to have this event, in your Holmes County Ohio home or elsewhere, is the night before your child’s spelling test. State a sentence that includes a spelling word in it. Then say the spelling word itself. Give “positive reinforcement,” such as a sticker or healthy snack, for every word that your child spells correctly.

Is your child having as much trouble spelling as you do? Maybe your youngster is preparing for a spelling test or a spelling bee anywhere, including Amish Holmes County Ohio. Using methods such as Scrabble will make you spellbound by his or her improvement.
