Jedi Spelling

I had to post this today in honor of my favorite Jedi's birthday!  Levi is officially in the Star Wars phase.  As soon as he wakes up, he dons his cape and lightsaber to conquer the world.  Rather than fight it, I decided to use it to our advantage and do a little spelling practice in the meantime.  

Simply give your child a word to spell (verbally, on a flashcard, written on a whiteboard, whatever) and let them swoosh away.  Of course, speaking in a crazy accent at the time makes things much more fun.  ;-)

Pretzel Spelling

We were at the pool when I hear “Look Mamita, I can spell ‘beep’ with my pretzels!”  By golly he did...and correctly too!  (Well, before he flipped the P.)  hehe

Your word choices are a bit limited when using regular pretzels (although B, e, p, d, and o can be made with some quick nibbling).  However, add some pretzel sticks and your vocabulary grows rapidly.  I think we might make pretzel spelling a weekly sight word activity around here!  hehe
