No better time for a spelling review than at Summer Spelling Camp - Spelling Fun Review. After spelling all year in school, learners shouldn't forget what they've learned and prepare for the next grade. That's what we do but in a fun, no pressure way. In this ten week summer spelling camp, learners will improve their spelling; learn, review, practice grade appropriate spelling words; learn, apply spelling word families, spelling patterns, spelling rules and learn dictionary skills to foster better spelling. Each week, learners will be given a new set of spelling words, a different list of words where we'll target spelling patterns, spelling word families, rules and apply them to words on their spelling list. Learners will simultaneously build a vocabulary of new words and be able to spell them too. They will learn dictionary skills: how to look up words, their definitions, synonyms, antonyms, homophones of words, multiple meanings, word roots, and construct sentences using their spelling words. They will build a foundation for regular writing, giving learners a head start on spelling, punctuation, other concepts and give them a great understanding of the relationship between letters and sounds. Learners will be given a new spelling list at the beginning of each week posted in the classroom on Sunday, giving them time to look over the new list and begin reviewing the list and learn to spell each word on the list even before coming to class. They will be given exercises and activities to complete during their three days in camp each week which will help strengthen their ability to spell words from their list. Occasionally learners will engage in spelling games, spelling crosswords puzzles, and friendly spelling bee competition with the other learners in the class. Learners are encouraged to create a set of flash cards each week and continue practicing the words after class ends and throughout the week. If learners remain in the camp all ten weeks, they will have a complete set of over 200 words that they've been presented with in camp. Pop quizzes may be given from time-to-time. Each week has new spelling lists, activities and material so learners can begin at any time. This summer review camp is ongoing for ten weeks, three days a week with ten different spelling lists throughout the camp. Learners benefit most by transitioning through all ten weeks but learners can enroll at any time during the camp. When learners are ready to take a year long course designed primarily to supplement spelling that they have in school or use as part of their home school curriculum, learners can transition to my "Spelling Words Can Be a Breeze - Spelling Practice for 3rd & 4th Grade" year long course or if ready and old enough, to "Uncover Spelling Secrets: Becoming a Confident Speller." Class format may look like this: 👀 See it! 👀 Learners see the word from their spelling list 🗣️ Say it! 🗣️ Learners read each word together with Teacher and learners 🗣️ Learners say the word [from their spelling list] 🗣️ Blend sounds in the word Learners split the word into syllables and sounds Learners identify the number of sounds they hear Learners identify individual sounds ✍️Spell it! ✍️ Learners spell the word/s out loud ✍️ Learners blend and check their spelling 🏁 Repeat It! 🏁Repeat 📝 Use It! 📝 Apply it Apply patterns, rules, sentences and previous knowledge Spell the word In each session, learners we will practice spelling words while applying the patterns and the rule learned and apply this in sentences they create using their own whiteboard, giving each learner numerous opportunities to show their work. Summer Spelling Camp - Grades 3 & 4 Spelling Fun Review is a great place for your learner to review what they've learned during the school year, continue to practice this much needed life-skill, so what they learned during the year is not lost during the summer.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from Indiana University
I am a retired public school Principal who has taught and written curriculum for grades K-12 in all subject areas. I have taught learners from grades K-12, Special needs learners, adults, ESL learners from several countries it seems for most of my life. Teaching children is what I love to do! And teaching learners of all ages to read, write and spell is foundational to success and is my passion. I personally love spelling and enjoyed spelling competitions since I was a little girl. Trust me, I practiced my spelling list / words and made sure I got an A+ on each test. So when faced with competition, I was ready!
I love to work with children in all subject area [reading, writing, science, cooking to name a few] but teaching them to read, write and spell are my favorite. Seeing the "lights" come on as a learner "gets it," understands the spelling rule and WHY words are spelled as they are is what I love most and love being a part of that experience is so very gratifying.
I am very happy to be teaching on the Outschool platform and look forward to my passion for reading, writing and spelling, in particular, rubbing off on your learner.
