In the old days, when bragging rights were on the line for the school spelling bee or there was a spelling test to hurry and study for the next day, there was one thing that could make a nervous speller's heart skip a beat: the mighty flashcard. Although we're not sure whether today's students love 'em or hate 'em (or if they have school spelling bees or even spelling tests anymore), we know they can be an effective learning aid for helping memorize words ... well ... in a flash! How? There have been some studies performed that show that flashcards can actually improve your memorization skills and retention capabilities. Seeing words over and over on a flashcard is like a sticky mental "glue," helping you recall what you've seen flashed before your eyes, oh, a few dozen times.
We're going to use flashcards in this lesson, but not exactly how you might remember them. We'll flash an image of an object and then give you four options for its proper spelling. Don't be fooled by the three distractors; key in on the right answer and choose it fast. Time is ticking! We want to see if you can nail 40 spelling words in less than seven minutes (that's almost six per minute). We know you can do it – we have faith in your inner spelling bee champion!
