We probably all remember spelling bees while in school but did you practice spelling as a preschooler? Studies have shown that parents can start a preschool reading program and it can be very beneficial. Preschool spelling programs consist of a weekly spelling test beginning with two letter words to start then the list can be expanded by adding word families. Preschool spelling games, spelling worksheets, and spelling bee activities should also become a part of a regular preschool spelling program]

By starting a preschool spelling program and sticking with it, you will prepare your child for kindergarten spelling. Kindergarten spelling progresses from the two letters words into three letter consonant-vowel-consonant words, and become more complex. Things such as changing a word by adding a silent "E" to the end of the word your child already knows, or introducing the long vowel sound with double vowels can be added to the spelling curriculum.
