It’s called a SPELLING LOG! You can make a Spelling Log on page 125. While you read, look for words that are INTERESTING. Listen for NEW WORDS used by people on radio and television. Include words that you need to use when you WRITE, especially words that are hard to spell. Before you write a word in your Spelling Log, check the spelling. Look up the word in a DICTIONARY or a THESAURUS, or ask for help. To help you understand and remember the meaning of a word, write a DEFINITION, a SYNONYM, or an ANTONYM. Use your word in a sentence.

SAY the word. Remember a time when you have heard the word used. Think about what it means. LOOK at the word. Find any prefixes, suffixes, or other word parts you know. Try to picture the word in your mind. Think of another word that is related in meaning and spelling. SPELL the word to yourself. Think about the way each sound is spelled. Notice any unusual letter patterns. WRITE the word on paper. Check the way you have formed each letter. If you have not written the word clearly or correctly, write it again. CHECK what you have learned. Cover the word and write it. If you cannot spell the word correctly, practice these steps until you can write it correctly.
