Hi! I'm trying to help my second-grader with their English homework and they are studying the "-it family". Do you have any suggestions on how I can help my child remember the words in this family?

Sure, I've got three different ideas for you:

Wow those are some great ideas to help these new words stick! Should I also have them practice spelling each of the words? Or putting each word into a sentence?

Ah, I'm so glad that you liked those ideas, and I'm excited to know that they'll help your child.  I think it would also be helpful to have them practice the spelling and sentence-making, and it might be especially useful if they can tell you about their thought processes while they do so.  For example, they could tell you the order that they first thought of each word, as a sort of check-in to see if

Great thinking! I like that you tap into the meta-cognitive process too
