Elementary teacher struggles to provide effective, low-prep weekly spelling practice that engages students who need the most support.
Traditional spelling practice methods are either boring (copying), chaotic (partner quizzing), or prep-heavy (word sorts); self-quizzing lacks honesty. There's no low-prep, engaging way to differentiate spelling practice.
