This is a research based spelling program that has realized great success in helping students learn how to spell correctly.
Each of your children were assessed or will be assessed to determine their spelling level. Based on this assessment, they will be working on sorting and spelling words that have a spelling relationship. This is the process that we will be completing at school each week for word
work and any additional practice at home during the week would be greatly appreciated.
Here is our daily schedule for word work each week:
Monday
Students receive a word list and the teacher explains the word sort.
Tuesday
Students will sort their words and write them in their word work notebook.
Wednesday
Students will glue their words into their word work notebook.
Thursday
Students should practice and study for their word work test on Friday. They need to both spell and sort the words correctly.
Friday
Students will be assessed on their words for the week.
