Each week we study 2 different word lists.
First, there is a list of 5 words that can be found weekly on the homework packet and on this blog on the page titled: Word Study Words. We do a lesson on these words each day of the week and take a final assessment on Fridays (scores will be on the report card). The graded spelling tests will come home on Monday. I will also be evaluating your child’s writing pieces to see if the same words are being spelled correctly in their every day writing.
Also, there is a list of 10 words that we work on throughout the week, that has a specific spelling feature that I want the students to focus on. Last week we worked on Short A words. Next week we will work on Short E words. I do not assess these words at the end of the week.
