I am sharing another little hack I found that helps when doing revision of spelling words for homework: this little spelling box! Building words with foam letters are so much more fun than ordinary letter cards!

Little spelling boxes


I made a Little Maths Box the other day to practice sums, and then I had more little boxes and decided to make ones for spelling too.

All you need is:

  • Small box(soap box) similar to this one
  • Foam Letters
  • Small dot stickers
  • CVC Word Cards(get our FREE printable ones on our FREEBIES page, see below for details)
Items needed


Add the spelling word flashcards your child is revising so he/she can build the words independently. He can read the word, turn the flashcard around and build it, then check again.

CVC words

I then made a little box with four dots so one can spell CVCC or CCVC(or any 4 letter word for that matter) because we are starting with those spelling words soon.

Four letter


These little boxes are great for using at home or in class. Imagine all the kids can have one to practice by themselves or a few for the literacy center, perfect.

Our little learning boxes are coming in very handy during homework time, for sure!

Little boxes


So much better than letter cards, right? Make them today and avoid the homework battle by making spelling words a bit more appealing!

    I love this idea do you mind to give me list of words that you use when you make these boxes?
    Thanks,

      Apologies, it was a shop in South Africa. Perhaps look at a local $1 store?
