Spelling Help?

Syllabicate. that's the easiest way to learn any word. Of course it's nothing short of memorizing, but there's no choice. Try to divide the words into syllables that would make it manageable for your son. Example: Delicious -De-li-cious - /Du-li-shus/. It would also help him distinguish between the specific Vowel and Consonant sounds or any "Shwa" sounds that needs to be focused on. This is very effective for any word of different levels of difficulty or different lengths. The most important thing is your son is focused and you can also "ogize". relate each syllable or even the whole word to a sound or idea that your son already knows, that would make it less difficult for him to remember. Hope this helps. GOODLUCK!
