It’s called a SPELLING LOG! You can make your own Spelling Log. See page 101. While you read, look for words that are INTERESTING. Listen for NEW WORDS used by people on radio and television. Include words that you need to use when you WRITE, especially words that are hard to spell. Before you write a word in your Spelling Log, check the spelling. Look up the word in a DICTIONARY, or ask for help. To help you understand and remember the meaning of a word, write a DEFINITION or draw a picture. Use your word in a sentence. 1 Spelling Practice Book © Harcourt • Grade 3 RXENL08AWK31_SPB_001.indd 1 9/8/06 7:35:51 AM Study Steps to Learn a Word Use these steps in this order to help you remember the spelling of a word. EF7B SAY the word. Remember a time when you have heard the word used. Think about what it means. EF7B LOOK at the word. Find any word parts you know. Try to picture the word in your mind. Think of another word that has the same word part. EF7B SPELL the word to yourself. Think about the way each sound is spelled. Look at each letter and find letter patterns. EF7B WRITE the word on paper. Check the way you have formed each letter. If you have not written the word clearly or correctly, write it again. EF7B CHECK what you have learned.

Here’s a tip that helps me spell a word. I say the word. Then I picture the way it is spelled. Then I write it! When I’m learning how to spell a word, the Study Steps to Learn a Word are a big help. See page 2. I think of ways to spell the vowel sound in a word. Then I try different spellings. When I don’t know how to spell a word, I sometimes just take my best guess! Then I check it. Sometimes I look up a word in a dictionary. Sometimes I just ask someone how to spell it. 99 Spelling Practice Book © Harcourt • Grade 3 RXENL08AWK31_SPB_099.indd 99 9/12/06 6:05:05 PM I proofread my work twice. First, I circle words I know are misspelled. Then, I look for words I’m not sure of. When I write a word that is a homophone, I make sure the word makes sense in the sentence. When I’m writing a compound word, I think about how the two smaller words are spelled. Sometimes thinking of a rhyming word helps me figure out how to spell a word. Both words may belong in the same word family. When I need to spell contractions, I think about which letters have been left out. That’s where I put the apostrophe. I think about spelling rules, such as how to change a word’s spelling before adding s or es. 100 Spelling Practice Book © Harcourt • Grade 3 RXENL08AWK31_SPB_100.indd 100 9/8/06 7:37:04 AM My Spelling Log A Spelling Log is a place for words that are important to you.
