Spelling

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.
