Each child is unique. I know this from my own experience: my son and daughter are opposites in so many ways. My son learns easily with "traditional" methods where as my daughter is creative and very artistic; therefore she learns quicker if taught creatively.
To practice spelling Nina enjoys writing with or on:
Dry Erase board, chalk on chalkboard or on sidewalk,
window crayons on our kitchen windows (my favorite).
More ideas are
Aquadoodle mat and
Play-Doh "spaghetti" or sharpie on foil. All give different experiences, textures and are tons of fun! Creative alternatives to the plain old pen and paper ;)
