You are welcome! GREAT SPELLERS.We are going to continue our lesson on how to make a spelling journal.They are as follows:
1.Related Words.
List words that are related in meaning and spelling.For example,the long vowel sound you hear in please can help you to remember how to spell pleasure.Add to this section whenever you come across words that will help you to spell other words.

2.Memory Helpers.
Collect sayings that you make up that help you remember certain words.A saying such as you are a youth can help you remember that the word youth contains y-o-u.

REMEMBER,THIS IS YOUR JOURNAL!YOU MAY WANT TO ADD A SECTION ALL YOUR OWN.
This is the end of todays lesson.We will move on to our spelling tip.
