Spelling Fun (and some variety)

I found a very fun book at the thrift-store recently (for a quarter!).  It is called 101 Ways to Avoid Spelling Traps by Linda Aber.  After looking through the book, I felt that it would be a fun temporary change to our usual means of doing spelling each day. 
Usually the boys type their words onto a saved Word document on the computer.  I feel that this gives them computer typing skill practice and spelling and vocabulary practice all at the same time.

However, a little variety is always welcome.   We plan to do a chapter together each morning.

One of the games from the book is to do a "word-in-a-word puzzle".  The boys enjoyed this very much!
