What about spelling?

Students in the 4th Grade Reading Rotation will have spelling words each week.  Word lists are pulled from the Corrective Reading lessons they are working on.  We are starting the year with 10 words and one bonus word (also from the unit.) As the year goes on, my goal is to expand the list to 15 words.

Students receive a packet on Monday that has all of their homework for the week.  We also write assignments for the week in the assignment book on Mondays.  Homework activities are designed to provide practice writing spelling words. They should only take about 5-10 minutes.  If they are taking longer than that, please let me know! 

Assignments follow a pattern.  For now, nightly spelling assignments are as follows:

Monday:  Write your spelling words in alphabetical order

Tuesday:  Write your spelling words in UPPER and lower case letters.

Wednesday:  Rainbow writing - write your words in different color or different utensils

ThursdayWrite your words 3x each

Friday:  Spelling Test
