I can remember as a child having problems with spelling.  I needed a lot of practice - but I didn’t want to just write words out over and over like some type of memorization - that would be just too boring.

Instead, my parents took a different route - they showed me how to do crossword puzzles.  I was able to work on my spelling and learn new interesting facts each day.

Now that I have children, I am doing the same thing with mine.  In keeping up with technology, we use free online crossword puzzles instead.  I find it a little less messy, and the kids don’t have the opportunity to color on the table.

I even have my oldest making his own crossword puzzles with a free crossword puzzle maker I have found.  Sure, I find his work simple, on the other hand it is teaching him to see things from another perspective.

So parents, if your child is struggling with spelling, and is bored with copying words over and over, give crossword puzzles a try - I can thank them for my good spelling I have today.
