Help Your Kid Ace The Next Spelling Test

Teaching spelling is just as important as it used to be- if anything, I believe that it is even more so. More words are being read and written than ever. Before this topic, I didn't realize that reading and writing fluency requires proficiency in spelling.

I picked up my phone and touched the screen with my fingers. I felt the scratches on my phone. Luckily, I had a screensaver on my phone. I walked into Dunkin Donuts and breathed in the smell of deliciousness. As I waited in line, I could hear ice being put into cups, the coffee brewing and baristas mixing the drinks.
