In an effort to find creative ways to help Patrick learn what he needs to learn, to take some of the drudgery out of homework and spelling practice, to introduce a little tactile learning into his kinesthetic brain, and offer some motivation to complete the tasks I introduced pudding.
Rather than making him write all his spelling words on paper (how boring!) he spells each word in chocolate pudding. For each word he spells correctly he gets to lick his finger. If he spells it incorrectly he doesn't get to lick. It worked rather well. Katherine even got in on it and wrote the letters that she knows..."K - for Katherine".
Patrick liked it so well he BEGS me to do spelling words with him. Hmm. I wonder what we can use for alphabetical ordering.
