Your child will be bringing home a collection of spelling words weekly that will be introduced on Monday. Each night of the week your child is expected to do a different activity to assure these words and the spelling principles they represent are mastered. These activities will be modeled and practiced in school, so your child can teach you how to do them.
Your child is split into a group to practice spelling principles they need based on their spelling assessment the first week of school. Your child will be reassessed again right before parent teacher conferences and at the end of the year. Research over more than 20 years has established how children learn to spell words and the order in which they learn to spell. This guides your student's instruction and allows them to learn to spell based on spelling rules.
The group words are listed below. Ten words for their spelling test will be taken from their pattern.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Cowan
