Meaning: Wander means to walk or move around slowly without a clear plan of where you are going.

Synonyms: stroll, drift

How do you spell wander?

Syllables: wan - der

Tricky part: The first vowel is a, but it sounds like the o in hot, so children often write an o and end up with a different word.

Memory tip: Picture an ant wandering slowly across your page, and let the a of ant remind you which vowel this word needs.
