Since I am on the topic of Spelling/Vocabulary Word Work, I thought it appropriate to touch on something that has really helped improve my 3rd grade spelling test scores. Each day we spend 3-5 minutes chunking and spelling our spelling words. I have the students stand and get their arms ready. Chorally, we say the word, chunk the word (using our arms to chunk out the different parts), then we spell the word (on our arms as well). During this process they are seeing the words on the board (visual), saying and spelling it (auditory), and chunking it on their arms (kinesthetic).
