If your child could use additional practice reading and spelling trick words, you may help your child create flashcards for the trick words we have studied. You will notice, on the list, that some words are boxed together. Those words have something in common. Those words could be written on the same flashcard and read together. Begin by having your child just practice reading the trick words. Once your child has mastered reading a trick word, then you can encourage him or her to learn how to spell the word. Brief but frequent practice is most beneficial.
