Use Letter Beads for Spelling Practice

Once you have the supplies, simply have you child use the beads to spell each of their words.

They can just pick out the letters to form the words. Or, they can thread them onto a pipe cleaner for some additional fine motor practice.

Keep the alphabet beads in a small bag or container, like a cute pencil bag, near your homework station. That way, they’ll always be ready for after school spelling practice.

Fun variations to this Alphabet Bead Spelling Words activity

For an added challenge, call out the words to your child so they have to spell by memory. This adds a fun twist to a practice spelling test.

Give your child the letters of one of their words and mix up the bead. Have them unscramble the letters to make their spelling word.

String your beads on jewelry cord to make a spelling word bracelet. They could even wear the bracelets for some instant word practice. (But make sure to leave the bracelets at home for spelling test day!)
