Spelling impacts Reading. The more students understand and become familiar with a word's spelling and its relatives, the easier reading those words becomes.

➡bake, baking, bakes, baker, baked, bakery, unbaked, bakeries

🌟Put the spelling practice into a phrase and you've added more meaning.

➡can bake, enjoys baking, bakes bread, an excellent baker, has her own bakery, the unbaked batter, three bakeries

🌟Ask students to use three to five of the words/phrases in a couple of sentences for more experience.

➡My sister thinks she has her own bakery and can bake bread and wedding cakes. I have to tell her that unbaked cake batter doesn't make a good cake.

🌟Read a story about someone baking and look for the words.

We want our kids to be curious, to be thinkers, to ask questions. When they're really engaged, they're asking questions and pursuing those questions.

When working with students, it's always a joy when they ask questions about a word they've noticed on their own or something we're working on together.

Nurture curiosity!

We need to give our dyslexic students and all those we love with dyslexia the gift of YET. They need to believe in their ability to grow, that hard things can become easier for them.
