Challenging Your Childs Higher Level Thinking8) Association game- provide your child with a few words that are the
same or different as one of the flashcard. For example if the word is blue: Say these three words are all similar to one of your spelling words- yellow, red and orange. Can you tell me which spelling word is similar? The child says blue because they are all colours.
9) Yell the word –Tell the child that you are going to give them clues to a word. Once they have figured out the word they should flip the card over. Start with harder clues and move to easier clues. Ex: cat- My
clues are: the word is an animal, it is makes a good family pet, it has soft fur, it says “meow”. The child yells: cat!
