One of the things I noticed with the spelling I had as a homeschooler, I had more spelling words, usually harder ones and had to write them twice a day and also played games/puzzles with them different ways to help me learn/remember how to spell them and also how to use them properly. Some teachers uses & likes rote type learning, while others don't. I think it's a good idea as long as you keep it fun.
Some of the things I done to help learn spelling words were, when I was younger my mom would let me jump rope while I spelled my spelling words and that was fun. Also my foreign language was Sign Language, sooo many times I would also practice my spelling words using finger spelling.
