GUM strategy for writing unknown words


#1

The GUM strategy is a good variation of the “underline and go on” practice for writing unsure-of-spelling words.

Guess
Underline
Move on

Even the kinders latch onto this strategy (and remember it) if it is introduced with a stick of gum for each student.
