Crack the Code!: A Spelling Challenge (continued)
Topics: First Grade, Writing
S T A N D
Continue with the next spelling word. Once your child has deciphered all her words, and practiced spelling them, give your child a new spy challenge! Ask her to use the code to write a sentence for you and see if you can decode it. For example, if they wrote:
9 12-15-22-5 25-15-21 13-15-13
it becomes, "I love you, Mom!"
Keep the code handy so that you can write each other secret messages in the future, whenver the mood strikes. And don't be surprised if this becomes a favorite way to practice those spelling lists!
