Spelling is one of the early major obstacles that can be faced during child education. As a parent, you should keep the training consistent by integrating everyday items and activities in sharpening this important skill.

The refrigerator can be an excellent classroom alternative. Buy magnetic letters which your child can se to form words. A game consisting of a list of words is also a handy choice - the favorite is to list letters which are spelled alike and only changes one letter.

The common denominator with each attempt to integrate spelling in the comfort of one’s home is to make it fun and easy to do. Games are always a good way to catch your toddler’s attention. Here are few more suggestion from mychildeducation.com:

- Play word-finding games. Give your child old newspapers or magazines, get them to highlight or draw a circle round every word that ends with ed, or every word beginning with p. Think out harder games as your child learns more.
- Draw or cut out pictures of things that have only one letter different (like pen and pin) to help them get used to how different vowels (a,e,i,o,u) work.
- Give a mirror to your child so he/she can see how their mouth moves when saying letters that can easily get mixed up when they write them down, like m and w, or p and g.
- Think up games to help your child see the difference between words like tap and tape or hop and hope where the last letter changes the way you say the whole word.
- Have them to play at rearranging letters to make other words (anagrams) out of their name, or other words they know.
