We don't really work on spelling but we do a word of the day each day. I give DS a word and he has to look it up in the dictionary for definition. Then the thesaraus for synonyms. If the word is used as a single form (noun) he writes a sentence using it correctly. If it has more than one role in language (noun, adjective) he writes a sentence for each. Sounds like a bunch but the whole thing takes 5 minutes or less. Every once in a while, I'll ask him to spell a few of them just to see if they're sticking....so far, so good. The wierd part is that if I ask him for a definition of a word that he did 3 weeks ago, he gives it to me word for word what he read out of the dictionary when he originally had the word assigned.
