USE PLASTIC LETTERS
You can buy a set of plastic magnetic letters at the Dollar Store. Have your child put the letters on a metal cookie sheet or the refriderator to make the word, then read it.

USE A DRY ERASE BOARD
Write the word over and over until it is learned, erasing each time. This is a writing task, not a copying task. If your child is using paper and pencil, fold the paper over each time or use another paper or card to cover the previous word. If your child needs a model to start with, provide it. Then cover it and allow him/her to peek if necessary. Then remove it altogether.

MEMORY
Make cards with several pairs of popcorn words. Scramble the cards and lay them faced down in neat rows. Turn over 2 cards at a time, read the words, and see if you have a match! Continue until all matches have been read and collected!
