Spelling Words

We will begin the year reviewing all the letters and their sounds. In late September or early October we will start having spelling tests. Students will be given a pre-test on Monday. These words will follow the spelling pattern we work on all week. A post-test will be given on Friday. Three sentences will also be dictated for all students to write. Capitals and punctuation will count.
