My own personal fun dictionary ... a downloadable freebie

I spend so much of my time explaining to parents and teachers how to build up a kids own and loved dictionary that I thought it would be more time effective to post this on the site as a freebie.

Dyslexic kids always have trouble with those small, irregular “stupidly” spelt words like “who”, “once” and “what”. Regardless of how often you teach these words they can be misspelt for decades.

This is why

• The words are stupid and not spelt as they should be so kids cannot sound them out.
• Most schools use a system of teaching that accidentally teaches them the incorrect spelling of these words.
• This is what happens …
• Kid writes short story and has not time to ask how each word is spelt
• Kid hands writing with incorrect spelling in to teacher
• Teacher marks text and corrects spelling in pen
• Kid gets writing back a few days later - when he is doing something      else - covered in red ink and can’t bear to look at it.
• Next time kid still spells words incorrectly
• This happens over and over again so that the incorrect spelling not the correct one is reinforced. The kid eventually learns that “wot”, “hoo” and “wuns” are how these words are always spelt, even though s/he knows the spelling is incorrect.

Instead if you build up your kids own personal dictionary …

 … with these words the first time s/he asks, “how do you spell ... ” s/he learns the correct spelling by looking it up every time before writing it.

… but the trick is in making it as quick and easy as possible to look up.

Writing is Fun Game ... very simple ... lots of laughs

This game is designed to get reluctant kids writing. If you are having trouble getting your kid writing or you just want him/her to enjoy writing more than s/he does now

... then you need the “Writing is fun game”.

This is a game used by Dawn all the time. But hers up to now has consisted of torn bits of hand written paper! This is the first time it has been formalized and typed up … so this version is presented a tad better!

This game …

• can be used at home with parents
• at schools by special need teachers
• or even in the classroom.

All you need …

• 40 sheets of paper (preferably 20 each of two different colours)
• a pair of scissors
• an old shoe box (or two paper bags)
• a lot of writing paper (or a word processor and printer)
• and this downloadable game.

Comes with simple instructions to improve a child’s (or adult’s) story writing … plus the Fun Dictionary.

All dyslexics know what stupid words are…… but unless you’ve been taught properly you probably think you’re stupid for not being able to read them.

But no, I’m sorry, all dyslexics are really smart - it’s the words that are stupid!

I mean, seriously who made up the spelling for “once”? Surely it should be “wuns”. There is only one letter that should be in the word, “n” and it’s not in the correct place!

And which genius thought up, “who”, “through”, “what”, “write”, “know” and “said”? Whoever it was - and I have a feeling there are a number of people to blame for this stupidity - must be the stupid one. And what about “a”? Did he not realize that is says “u”!

If your kids gets stuck reading this stupidity I have the very game for them.

I’ve been teaching kids with this game for decades. Any parent or teacher can use it … and it’s fun. And it’s a game that dyslexics are good at. And kids learn far quicker from games.

Play this a few times a week and your kid should learn 12 + new words a week - and that’s over 600 a year!

What you need:

• Some thickish printing paper
• a pair of scissors
• a table to play on
• and $5.00 to download.

…. Oh and at least 2 people to play it.
