This year we are using words that are generated from students’ reading material and frequently used word lists. A list will go home with your child each week. This year there will be a spelling section in the students' portfolios. We suggest the following daily schedule.

Monday -- Children read each word to someone and use it orally in a sentence.

Tuesday -- Copy each word 3 times, placing them in ABC order. Please turn this

in on Wednesday morning.

Wednesday -- Write each word in a sentence. Sentences are due Friday morning.

Thursday -- Call out words to student so child can write words.

Friday -- Test day unless no school, then test day is Thursday. Tests include at least one dictated sentence.
