Rainbow Words - As part of my first grade morning routine, I have my students do Rainbow Spelling Words. They trace their spelling words everyday with a colored pencil. At the end of the week, they have practiced writing them 5 times, as well as worked on handwriting.
Spelling and Phonemic Awareness - I also use our weekly spelling words as the words we use for our Daily Phonemic Awareness Activities including:
* Recognizing and producing Rhymes
* Segmentation of Words into Syllables
* Awareness of Initial Consonant Segments
* Awareness of Final Consonant Segments
* Segmentation of Onset and Rime
* Phoneme Segmentation
* Blending of Syllables and Phonemes
* Phoneme Manipulation – adding and deleting phonemes
Great post! Thanks for sharing! ☺

Oh the Places We’ll Go
My students love rainbow words. I use rainbow pencils or have them use several colors at once. I like the idea of them having a set sheet to work on. We also love the letter stamps from Lakeshore. You use them with playdougg:) We also use www.spellingcity.com as a center and at home for homework. It is a great site where I can store my leveled lists on. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us!
