spelling drills

Repetitive word exercises

Spelling drills are repetitive exercises designed to help learners memorize correct spellings.

Students might write words multiple times, take dictation tests, or practice with flashcards.

The method emphasizes rote memorization over contextual learning: We did spelling drills every Friday in elementary school.
