Well, we should do some extra works if we are parents or teachers of little kids. Specially, when we try to help them to learn spelling. I have found some  helpful tricks . So, want to share with you.

1. Teach them with rhyming words, e.g. book, cook, look. And, try to make more.

2. Tell them similar words, you may ask them to find out/ write down some similar words, e.g. far, fur, see, sea, to, two.

3. Putting a letter before a word, e.g. table- stable, high-thigh.nail-snail, ear-hear.

4. Put one/two letter(s) after a word, e.g. hen-hence, her-herb, man-mango, bear-beard.

5. Put a letter in the middle, e.g. nice-niece, father-feather, map-mop.

6. Try to find some words which have more closer look, e.g. sky-spy, book-look-cook, good-mood-food, cock-mock.

7. sometimes take help from your mother tongue to spell.
