Are eather one of these good ways to teach a 4th grader how to spell William...?

Question

Will-I-ahh-mmm...
Will-Eye-ahh-2 humps(banga-dee, banga-dee)?

(My English teacher gave these examples, and told us to tell others...). (Sounds a little weird to me, but what do you think...?)? Thanks!

Answer 1

i would never EEEEEVER use those. i don't even get them myself and i teach english.

Answer 2

I would break it up as

Will I am

(I am Will)

But I am a very visual learner. If students are more audial, then sounding it out in exaggerated ways, where they can "hear" the teacher's dramatic voice in their minds, may work better for them. I had a drama instructor who learned students' names faster by making awful puns and repeating them. But it works!

Answer 3

How about keeping it simple....Will-i-am. Three simple words most 4th graders can remember and spell. Any cute
gimmick will just bring confusion.

Answer 4

i even have faith that between the terrific the thank you to improve right into a solid speller is to be uncovered to a great form of books, poetry, and so on.. My son is barely 4 and that i study to him all of the time. He already knows the thank you to spell a pair of words.

Answer 5

Here is how I got straight A's in spelling Will I Am, Be-a- ti-ful, pharm-a-ce-u-ticuls You can spellWill-i--am

Answer 6

juss say Will*I* AM and that would be easy for a 2nd grader even so yeah that is how I remember it anyways

Answer 7

First you need to learn to spell.

Answer 8

Try the Black Eyed Peas version

Will. I. Am (I am Will)

Answer 9

If it doesn't stick try something a little simpler.
Will- e -am
Willy-am
Will-yam

Answer 10

First answers good. But can you spell, 'either?'
