Spelling

Posted: October 3, 2016

Today your child came home with a list of spelling words which we will be studying for this month. The list is glued into their agenda at the beginning of the month of October, and has a tab marking it's spot. Some ideas for home study are: writing out words once only, spelling words as they are called out, putting them on recipe cards and using them as flash cards, chanting the spelling in funny voices, and making up words that rhyme with the spelling word. If you have a wipeboard, or chalkboard, use that for a fun change. If you want to make your own Word Wall at home, go for it and send us in a picture!  In order to not overwhelm your child, we study only 5 words a week. The total time spent on spelling practice each night should be around 5 minutes. Have f-u-n!
