Each Friday, first graders will have spelling words and a few dictation sentences to write as a spelling and grammar assessment. To practice at home, have your child write down simple sentences as you say them, checking for a capital letter at the beginning, punctuation at the end, and proper spelling (stretch out the sounds for words that can be spelled phonetically, sight/snap words must be memorized.)
Spelling/Phonics Themes Review through end of school year
*This is the last new skill. We will spend the rest of the month reviewing!
*If you don't see the current date, please email me - I may have forgotten to update. Thank you!
