Hello Sarah, It’s great that you're focused on reinforcing spelling rules while encouraging students to apply their learning to writing—supporting transfer of skills is so important! How might you incorporate playful peer collaboration or small-group challenges to make the learning even more interactive and engaging for students? - Sue Luft
