Poor spellers have trouble remembering the letters in words because they have trouble noticing, remembering, and recalling the features of language that those letters represent. The kind of visual memory necessary for spelling is closely “wired in” to the language processing networks in the brain. Most of us know individuals who have excellent visual memories for pictures, color schemes, design elements, mechanical drawings, maps, and landscape features, for example, but who spell poorly. Therefore, spelling reversals of easily confused letters such as b and d, or sequences of letters, such as wnet for went are manifestations of underlying language learning weaknesses rather than of a visually based problem. Spelling problems, like reading problems, originate with language learning weaknesses. Recent research, however, shows that a general kind of visual memory plays a relatively minor role in learning to spell. One common but mistaken belief is that spelling problems stem from a poor visual memory for the sequences of letters in words. Many individuals with dyslexia learn to read fairly well, but difficulties with spelling (and handwriting) tend to persist throughout life, requiring instruction, accommodations, task modifications, and understanding from those who teach or work with the individual. The definition of dyslexia notes that individuals with dyslexia have “conspicuous problems” with spelling and writing, in spite of being capable in other areas and having a normal amount of classroom instruction. Less is known about spelling competence in the general population than is known about reading achievement because there is no national test for spelling and many states do not test students’ spelling skills.Īlmost all people with dyslexia, however, struggle with spelling and face serious obstacles in learning to cope with this aspect of their learning disability. You do not need to contact us for permission to use the materials.Spelling is difficult for many people, but there is much less research on spelling than there is on reading to tell us just how many people spell poorly or believe they spell poorly. We made these cards so you could use them, and we are only too happy if you use them in your school, library, daycare facility, or for-profit tutoring business.

Blank Memory Cards (Write in your own words).

For an advanced child, you can increase the number of words you use, so it becomes more difficult to find matching cards. You can also make the game easier by using a smaller deck of cards with fewer word pairs. If a child is struggling with this game, you can read through all the word cards with them prior to the start of play to help refresh their recall of the words. Play continues until all the words are matched and there are no cards left unclaimed.

If a child is unable to read a word or reads a word incorrectly, give the child a bit of coaching to help them correct the mistake and learn the word. If the words do not match, the player turns the cards back over so the words are no longer showing, and the player to her right takes the next turn. If the words on the two overturned cards match, the player removes the pair, placing them by her side, and gets another turn. The child then picks a second card and also turns it over, reading the word on the second card.

The child picks one card and turns it over so the word is visible, reading the word on the card. For example, a deck of 30 cards (15 word pairs) is best laid out in a 5×6 grid, 5 columns of 6 cards each. To set up the game, shuffle the cards and arrange them, face down, in a grid.
