Spelling tests and correcting misspelled words are good methods of encouraging literacy improvement, but they focus on the teacher trying to direct students' attention towards the key words and spellings.
Wordsearches can get students thinking about spellings and meanings without prompts from the teacher. Students find a word and check with peers and teachers to see if it's a mathematical word. Here's a 19x19 grid with 88 mathematical words. If you want a worksheet version with or without a list of words, check here.
