When you quiz him have him write his words down on a pad of paper as he spells them orally! That should help him be able to see them as well as say them. I did that with my mom when I was younger and it helped me. Now I'm in all AP classes and I'm glad my mom did that with me!
Good luck and remember to praise and encourage him!
Please pick me as your best answer!

Have him write his words down four or five times as he spells them aloud so he can associate the oral with the written. Writing the word multiple times is going to help him if it is in the same format of the quizzes at school. Also, try and see if the teacher could do oral quizzes, or even alternate between oral and written that way he learns both ways so that when he is older he will be able to spell well in writing essays.

I had a similar problem with my daughter. We bought some magnetic alphabet letters and had her practice spelling with them on the back of a cookie sheet. Then have him write the words as you give them to him once you think he as them mastered.
(If he has trouble with forming the letters, then you might have other issues going on--can he trace circles, lines, etc. with no difficulty? Then, try spelling the words to him letter by letter to make sure he can write them down. Sometimes kids think they know the letters but might actually write a "g" instead of a "d." Sometimes a 5 minute review is all they need.)

If he can remember them to say them out load, he should be able to remember them to write them also. maybe he has some kind of mental block when it comes to writing them. Ask if he can be given the test orally. I would speak to his teacher about possibly having him tested for a learning disability if he has a problem with writing, or a tutor of some kind to help overcome this. (My nephew's writing is ILLEGIBLE and he is in 3rd grade. He recently broke his right arm, the one he writes with, and his writing is not any better with it as oppossed to him now using his left.) We joked that it may improve by using the left, but his teachers were working on his writing skills. He forms his letters weird. We can't even do them like he does them. Looks like he's writing in heiroglyphics and he forms them backwards(for lack of a better description). SEEK HELP

thermometer and anemometer look a splash lots to me for a 2nd grade spelling project. those are greater like fourth or 5th grade point words while i replace into in college, yet then, colleges seem to push lots greater on young little ones at the instant quicker. My niece is in 2nd grade and that they've been analyzing forces in technology and he or she likes doing self reliant technology projects outdoors of school- so bypass parent. i might say in the experience that your daughter is e book clever and enjoys studying then discover out her hobbies and in keeping with risk help her out with some self reliant pastime projects of her very own to do. there is not any longer something incorrect with that as lengthy as she is balancing that between acquaintances and different events together with her friends somewhat than placing apart herself to books solely. that's no longer sturdy for absolutely everyone.

Use flash cards so he can see what he's spelling, that way he relates the sound with the written word.
