Spelling Headaches!

Every night I work on Trevor's spelling words with him. I give him a little test and then whatever words he misses I have him write about 10 times each. This week? Every day he would miss more words. I actually made him take the test over last night and "try harder". He did a bit better that time.

Does anyone have any ideas/advice on how to help him with his spelling? He seems to do great in everything else so it's not that he's not smart! I don't know what to do other than to quiz him over and over and have him write the words a million times.

I got spoiled by the girls who just figured this stuff all out on their own. I never really had to help them get their homework done or study with them. This is a whole new ball game!
