A little blue ball is a great tool in our lessons. During spelling my youngest has focus issues. He will start to spell say baseball and it goes something like this.
b-a-finds a piece of fuzz on the carpet-investigates piece of fuzz-asks where he was in the word-I tell him to start over-b-a-s-e-he then tells me a story from a show he has watched-I tell him to start over-b-a-s-e-b-a-l-l!
The little blue ball helps to keep his focus and it uses up his endless supply of energy. ;)
In "Spelling Volleyball" I throw the ball and I say b, Remy catches it and throws it back saying a, I catch it and throw it back saying s, and so on.
Excuse Remy's big white shirt. It was bedtime and I had Matthew film this for me. Remy sometimes likes to wear his daddy's undershirts to bed. :)
