*NO MORE FRIDAY TESTS... WHY THERE ARE NO MORE FRIDAY TESTS AND HOW YOUR CHILD WILL CONTINUE TO LEARN SPELLING SKILLS...
When I give students a spelling page to work at, they are studying spelling patterns. Instead of focusing all our attention on random words, we group and study words by common patterns. My
two favorite spelling books that help kids see the common patterns
words share are: 'Words Their Way' and 'Treasures Spelling Practice.' We are currently using TREASURES.
- Hand-in your TREASURES WW page on the last day of the week for grading... to see if the student understands the patterns for the week.
- TREASURES practice page / list words will always be in the agendas.
