We needed more time to answer the flashcards for "popcorn" words. I love sandpaper letters to help struggling spellers and readers. You can make your own with montessoirmom.com's help. Flashcards can serve a function, but just know, you are working just with memorization. To get that "intrinsic" education we were talking about, we MUST find a way for them to experience the words. Try this too. Put sugar in a pie pan and let them use a pencil to "write" the words in the sugar.  Or you write the words and then let them read them. When they get them right they can wipe it out!
