on the spelling words the guide has you write them on an index card - my handwriting is never straight
and I want it to look good
- so what do you do to make it look nice LOL I am hoping to punch them and save them for the next dc and just trade them out on the ring if that makes sense - but I can't for the life of me figure out how to write them and have all the words look nice and centered and such
maybe I am a little ocd
Any suggestions???
Thanks!

I write much nicer with a marker. Have you tried that? Also, could you print them off in your printer? That's what I do with our Bible verses.

How about typing them out in two columns, leaving space between each word? Then, you could print them out on card stock and cut them out close to the size of index cards.

I printed them out on mail labels and stuck the stickers onto index cards. I have the same issue with my writing, and I wanted DS to have a great example of what the letters should look like.

Do you write all the words for each unit on one card? Or one word per card?

I like this idea but ---Does this make them thicker when stacked together? a lot or little about how much more storage room do you think it takes up???

I wrote out the Bible verses with marker and they look nice but it is much smaller than I would like the spelling words and when I try to write bigger I guess more of the sloppy shows? lol

This might work - then I can laminate them and punch a hole in the corner and rotate them out - probably the list amount of work of the suggestions --- LOL
