I want to remind you again that it is very important to reward your child for even the smallest amount of progress. Stickers and stamps on his work are very motivating. You may also want to consider putting a chart on the wall that measures his progress through different levels of spelling. The chart should be placed where everyone can see it. Not only will your child learn to spell, his self-esteem will improve as well.

This article was written by Sandy. I am a parent who is concerned with giving my children the best start in life. Since my first child didn't come with a manual, I have found other parents' advice invaluable. I would like to pass on what I have learned and hope that other parents would like to do the same. I have recently been reminded of how important my family is and that my family should always come first. Please visit my blog at http://familycomesfirst.wordpress.com/. Hope to see you there.
