Online teaching tips:
 After giving students time to write, use your platform's functionality to write each word on the blue screen. Alternatively, use a dark marker to write on paper or a dry-erase board held up to your webcam. Options for error correction are a) choosing one or two words with which students often make errors and having all students Touch Spell and write each word again or b) asking students what they wrote and basing error correction on student responses. Have students hold their fingers up to the webcam during Touch Spelling. If possible, have students show their written work via their webcams.

For sentences, address errors seen via webcam or select one or two commonly misspelled words to Touch Spell and write again with the group. Use your platform's functionality to write each sentence on the blue screen. Alternatively, use a dark marker to write on paper or a dry-erase board held up to your webcam
