  • Look at the word, and say it out loud, breaking it into syllables (e.g., “ac-com-mo-date”).
  • Circle the hardest part(s) of the word, such as the double M or double C in “accommodate.”
  • Cover the word, and write it from memory.
  • Uncover the word to check your work. If you missed a letter, write the word correctly three times.
