Great idea! Here's another link that I like for teaching spelling using audio, visual, and kinesthetic, and oral multisensory approaches as you have illuminated in your suggestions. http://www.avko.org AVKO.org is a non-profit research group focused on helping kids with language-based learning differences. They have sample pages of their "sequential spelling" multisensory approach. BTW, at our house of sensory-seekers we love to use shaving cream on a mirror or yummy pudding on a plate as our "writing tablet!" Thanks for putting up this blog! Great idea!
