Making a Spelling Log
This book gives you a place to keep word lists of your own.
It’s called a SPELLING LOG! You can make a Spelling Log on
page 125.
While you read, look for words that are INTERESTING.
Listen for NEW WORDS used by people on radio and television.
Include words that you need to use when you WRITE, especially
words that are hard to spell.
Before you write a word in your Spelling Log, check the spelling.
Look up the word in a DICTIONARY or a THESAURUS, or ask
for help.
To help you understand and remember the meaning of a word,
write a DEFINITION, a SYNONYM, or an ANTONYM. Use your
word in a sentence.

Study Steps to Learn a Word
Use these steps in this order to help you remember the spelling of a word.
EF7B
SAY the word.
Remember a time when you have heard the word used. Think about what it
means.
EF7B
LOOK at the word.
Find any prefixes, suffixes, or other word parts you know. Try to picture the word
in your mind. Think of another word that is related in meaning and spelling.
EF7B
SPELL the word to yourself.
Think about the way each sound is spelled. Notice any unusual letter patterns.
EF7B
WRITE the word on paper.
Check the way you have formed each letter. If you have not written the word
clearly or correctly, write it again.
EF7B
CHECK what you have learned.
Cover the word and write it. If you cannot spell the word correctly, practice
these steps until you can write it correctly.

Spelling Strategies
Let us show you some of our favorite
spelling strategies!
Here’s a tip that helps me spell a word. I say the word. Then I
picture the way it is spelled. Then I write it!
When I’m learning how to spell a word, the Study Steps to
Learn a Word are a big help. See page 2.
I think of ways to spell the vowel sounds in a word. Then I
try different spellings until the word looks right.
When I don’t know how to spell a word, I sometimes just take
my best guess! Then I check it in a dictionary or a thesaurus.
Sometimes I proofread a sentence backward. I start with the last
word and end with the first word. It really helps me notice words
I’ve misspelled! Then I proofread for meaning.
I proofread my work twice. First, I circle words I know are
misspelled. Then, I look for words I’m not sure of.

9/12/06 6:02:41 PM
When I write a word that is a homophone, I make sure the word
makes sense in the sentence.
When I’m writing a compound word, I think about how the
two smaller words are spelled.
Sometimes thinking of a rhyming word helps me figure out how
to spell a word.
I think about spelling rules, such as how to change a word’s
spelling before adding the ending -ed or -ing.
Drawing the shape of a word helps me remember its spelling.
