Spelling Notes:
· Students will be having spelling tests every
Friday.
· The spelling words will be assessed and sight
words will be bonus.
· Spelling words will be glued into the planner
each week. I will also try to post them on the website.
· Spelling words are chosen based on the sounds
that the students are working on in whole group phonics and their small group
with Ms. Richards.
· While the kids will have practice with the words
at school, in order to be successful on the weekly spelling test, I recommend they
practice each night.
· There is no required spelling homework to turn
in.
· A menu of
options or choices is on the back of this page.
Use this for ideas to practice spelling words this year. I suggest that
you hang it on the refrigerator or in your child’s homework area. Then they can
check it to make a choice each night.
· I would suggest they take a practice test on
Thursday to make sure they are prepared for Friday.
· Students need to write neatly. If a word cannot
be read it will be marked wrong.
· The words will not be read in order. They will
be mixed up each week, so you should practice them out of order too.

Refer to this throughout the school year to practice spelling words.
