kids deliberately doing work wrong

Hello all,
I work with younger kids and I have a set of twins in my care. The twins have always been about 6 monthes in difference when it comes to thier stages. I am having problems with one of the girls missing her spelling words on purpose. They are 7 years old. I thought it was for attention, but I feel like I always jump to that conclusion. When I practice spelling words with them, they both know all the words....but she came home with only 2 right on her test.
Does any one have any ideas or tips i can use?
Any help would be appreciated.

You could always try and throw in some distractions when you are trying to teach them. You could have the TV on in the background and see if they can stay focused enough to spell the word right. The class room is not always silent you have kids sneezing and moving around so you could also do something in that way to try to distract them.

stop being angry with the child be patient enough with her even when she does that pretend you did not recognize the error and repeat the right thing. Always encourage her and praise her when she do the right thing and avoid shouting on her even if she is wrong.love heals everything....mind you,that kind of child are usually hidden treasure

Definitely!! I loved the last answer. Kids love when they are being loved. Try being nice to them and explain that that making things wrong in no way is helpful. Let me share my own experience.
A small cousin of mine, never liked doing his home assignments when his sister sat beside him. This was because she used to scream at him even if made a small mistake. But I tried to be nice to him and make him understand and it actually worked!!
Try it..
