Apparently, Iesha is into spelling. She would take her note book and her pencil and asked me the words to spell. But it seemed it doesn't last longer. She was getting bored spelling on her note book. Hence the idea of this sensory spelling activity.
There are many ideas of multi-sensory activities to encourage children to spell/ write/ draw. I found this one is the easiest. You just need a tray to spread the salt, a black paper (or any vibrant color papers) and salt. Then you may start the spelling activity.
Iesha and Iyra liked this activity so much, while Iris had trouble sitting still for the activity to continue. So I already prepared an article about salt for us to discuss. I found this interesting article here.
We continued the activity with the story about salt. Iris was amazed when I told her the word salary comes from Latin word to do with giving or getting salt. The girls were also very much excited when I told them we can get salt from sea water by boiling it. They planned to get the sea water from our next visit to the beach.
It sounds pretty interesting.
