Spelling

Spelling lists will be distributed weekly (each full 5-day week), and are practiced in school. Typically, students will receive their spelling words on a Monday, and take their test on Friday. On Friday, the children will come home from school with their spelling test for you to view and sign. Your signature acknowledges that you are aware of your child's score.

Additionally, please keep in mind that the philosophy behind the program is for the children to learn the various phonetic spelling features, and apply them to their daily writing. Although scoring an awesome grade on their weekly spelling assessment is important, it is not the primary goal of the program.

Your child can anticipate to begin spelling the 2nd or 3rd week of school after initial assessments have been given and scored to place your child in an appropriate, developementally appropriate group.

Thank you!

Mrs. Cresap
