I don't have any advice, but wanted to say words like that are even hard for Joshua and he's not Dyslexic. Just wanted to offer {{{HUGS}}}
link to meaning, that's what is important
THIS is "peace"
THIS is piece
I didn't think of doing it with the pictures.
Aside from writing them out severaltimes, can he write them with raised paint markers? This helps Bryn, who also is dyslexic. Feeling where the letters are seem to be helpful in remembering them.

I can sort of understand the point of these spelling words, almost.
See, if he is going to be a "compensatory" kid (and likely he will, spellcheck is your friend), homophones will be his nemesis.
If he types, "I go throgh the tunnel", spellcheck will go "NOPE< did you mean "through?" and it's all good.
Ever look on Craig's List and see how many of these words are misspelled?
I know it is going to take awhile for my son to 'get there' I know he is making great strides but I also know I want him to be a good speller, yep that is my main goal for him. I work with a person who does what you described, types a word in 'word' that isn't a 'mis spell' so 'word' doesn't catch it. She is my co-lead teacher and it really bothers me when she does this and she is so aware that this is a weakness for her. She signs my name to these emails and notes to parents and I do not want people to think I cannot spell when I can. I would much rather have someone admit they need help rather than make themselves seem uneducated. Spelling, English, Literature and History were very important parts of my education. I fully intend for them to be the same for my son.
I do like the idea you gave about having him circle the correct answer. I did the one you gave me about the pictures and it helped him greatly. I even sent the images in to school with him and included a note to his teacher asking if he could see the pictures when he took the test. The only word he missed was 'through' which was a picture of a train going through a tunnel.
