Spelling
Spelling is every other week and alternates with our vocabulary program, Empowering Words.
1. Students will be given a pretest (usually on Monday)
2. Students will be given the spelling homework packet on Monday. It is due Thursday.
3. Please help your child with studying. Mix it up! Make it fun! Here are some ways to study:
a. Pick two colored markers. Have the student write the consonants in one color and the vowels in another. Notice any patterns.
b. Play Sparkle as a family!
c. Make flash cards of the words. If they are the vocabulary words, put the definitions on the back. Mix up the way you study! Quiz your child by giving him/her the definition and he/she has to give the word and spell it.
d. Have your child write a story that uses all of the words. Make sure the story makes sense!
f. Use quizlet.com (links will be sent out)
g. Make up another way to study! Just make it fun for your child and make sure he/she is learning the words.
