Scrabble
If you have a child in your domain that learned to spell using a cell phone with a numeric keypad, I strongly suggest you start playing Scrabble with them. I've been playing with Jennifer lately, and I'm amazed at how much her spelling has improved.
Of course, it also helps to build vocabulary.
We bought an old-school Oxford English dictionary at a garage sale and we use this to resolve any conflicts, disputes, or confrontations.
She wins about half the time. I win about half the time. We're actually pretty evenly matched.
Plus, It's funny to see her learning to use a dictionary. Next, I think I'll teach her to write in cursive.
