My son does not enjoy spelling words, spelling work, and especially spelling tests.  They drive him crazy.  He knows how to spell the words but often forget letters.  I really think it has something to do with his ADHD.  I can tell him to go back and look at his words and he always notices that he forgot a letter here or there, which frustrates him beyond belief.  Neither one of us look forward to his daily spelling time because it tends to be a bit stressful; bringing out a lot of his anxiety which leads to my frustration and then his frustration and then my anxiety....oh you get the picture.  It is not fun! I have been racking my brain to come up with other ways for him to show me that he can spell his weekly list of words.  I can't even count the number of times I have looked up fun ways for spelling on Pinterest, Google, etc.  After feeling like we have tried every trick in the book I decided to give up and just keep beating my head against the wall with our normal weekly spelling routine.  Until today... I listed each word twice (one version spelled correctly and the other slightly off).  I told him to circle the correctly spelled word and then underline the letters that made him recognize it was spelled correctly. It worked!!!  He loved it AND he got a 100.  I even told him he could use his spelling book if he wasn't sure of a word (since this was not a test) but he didn't even need to do that.  Success in spelling!!! Hallelujah! Praise God!!! Here are two pictures showing the front and back of the assignment.  I guess I could have typed the list in a really cute font and on fun paper but I wasn't sure this assignment was going to be a success, so little effort went into it.  :)
