Dr. DooRiddles & Spelling DooRiddles

A fun way to strengthen students' spelling, vocabulary, and reading!

Grades: PreK - 12+
Subject: Language Arts


 
Dr. DooRiddles develops students' fluency and understanding of word meanings and associations as it improves their spelling, vocabulary, reading, and problem solving skills.

Students carefully read through clues in each riddle, analyzing connections within and between clues to figure out what is being described. Solving the riddles requires students to evaluate homonyms, synonyms, homophones, prefixes, roots, and suffixes in order to deduce and spell whole and partial word answers.

Grades PreK-2 activities may be read aloud to pre-readers.



Spelling DooRiddles, a new line of Dr. Doolittle's DooRiddles, develops both the visual and phonetic aspects of spelling and vocabulary. Students use associative reasoning, reading comprehension, and spelling skills to solve the two-part riddles.

Students analyze the first part of the riddle to identify the target word. Next, they read the second part of the riddle to determine whether to add, delete, or change the letters of the target word to produce the second word and solve the riddle.
