Lots of great suggestions in this post! Thank you! When it came time to editing, I used to have students look for things they needed to fix, but now I ask them to look for words they spelled correctly, or places where they used an upper case letter or punctuation correctly. I found that when students were excited to find all the ways they excelled, they noticed places that needed fixing on their own. It was powerful.
I think that some people are just poor spellers. If I were you, I would make sure that he knows how to use a dictionary. Then, I would go through his writing and mark all the words that are misspelled. You should have him use the dictionary to correct his own mistakes. The more words that he uses the dictionary to correct, the less mistakes he will make. When I made my kids correct their own work, they seemed to be able to remember the spellings better. We have a few poor spellers here too.
Maybe you could also try a notebook for him? His own sort of dictionary? If you see a word he continually misspells, have him write it down. You could even add tabs for the letters of the alphabet. He could write it in there. While I agree using a dictionary is great, your son may not be ready for that. For the word Christmas for instance, he might search and search based on th spelling you gave he used and never find it. This might just frustrate him more and make him feel less about himself than he should.
I would make spelling more fun for him and I actually would discourage you from marking up his creative writing too much. This could take the joy out of writing. If he loves history, chances are from my experience as an Editor and with an English degree he probably is a natural writer. I would hate to see that joy taken out of him, so I would at least for a while keep th spelling and writing for creativity separate. Once he gains some confidence, you could give him the OPTION of looking for spelling errors in his writing.
My 13yo ds has many of the same problems your ds has. He is not a fast reader, especially out loud and just seems to not be able to picture/solidify words and their spellings very easily. BUT, he has a great memory for other things, and for that, I am grateful.
I used to really beat him up about his spelling, still do but not like I did, when I realized my very fluent, story-telling reader could not remember his math facts for nothing!!! Spelling, grammar, reading (off the hook!), but 5+5, not so much.
Students use every word on the weekly spelling list to design a word doodle. The challenge is to think of various ways to group the spelling words. Students use a combination of phonics knowledge and word meanings to create word categories. Not only do students practice writing spelling words correctly, they are also activating their knowledge about the ways letters combine to create words, word usage, and definitions of the words.
I told my students they should try to have 2-4 words per grouping, but if they ran out of options at the end, they could create a group that contained only one word as long as they provided a title. We used colored pencils at school, but I got out the Sharpies when I worked on my samples at home. Definitely add color. If you need an alternative to calling out words when studying for a weekly spelling test, give this spelling activity a try. It works in the classroom and at home.
From what I understand when visualizers or hyperphantasia what to spell a word they see the word as if it where in front of them. So example words like sun, hot, moon, dark, dog, cat so on, one can visualize the spelling of the word as if it where in front of them and they where looking at the word.
break big words in your brain like taking the big word experimental, breaking it into experi-mental breaking into two words in your brain than joining it when spelling or the word occupational breaking it into three words in your brain so occupational is occu-pation-al in your brain than joining into occupational when spelling.

This month, the Bee's Bookshelf selection is The Winterton Deception 1: Final Word by Janet Sumner Johnson. In this twisty middle grade mystery, thirteen-year-old twins Hope and Gordon enter a spelling bee in a last-ditch effort to save their family from financial ruin, only to find themselves in a cut-throat competition to uncover a fortune and dark secrets about the wealthy relations they've never known.
I have a problem when I compare the new word with the original word. I'm suppose to type in words like "banana" and take the first letter to the end and it should spell it backwards to equal "banana". The two words are equal. And if I type in "dog" it becomes "dgo". But in my code if i type in "banana" it still shows it not equal. Idk what to do.
This game takes a little time, but the amount of time they spend on those 5 words is a lot, and more importantly they are spending 1 on 1 time with their brother/sibling/friend that will be committed to memory for a lifetime!
This list is so your opponent knows your words. If your kids are older you can leave this list off to increase the level of difficult. Doing this will make it so the kids have to try and guess the words as the letters are revealed.
Spelling skills should develop as part of an overall language arts phonemic awareness, phonics, reading comprehension, vocabulary and reading fluency, grammar, reading and writing program. Children should (with help from their parents) develop their foundational spelling skills through an interest in words, regular writing, constant reading, a study of spelling rules, and playing of spelling games

As any participant in a spelling bee can tell you, correctly spelling words in the English language is not always easy. In most languages, the way words are spelled (graphemes) consistently relate to the way they sound (phonemes). But the English language uses a mix of spellings and pronunciations from Latin, Greek, French, German, and many others. To further confuse matters, words in English have different spellings in different countries. No wonder English is practically the only language spelling competitions are held in!
