 Our Houghton-Mifflin Spelling Program begins this week. Each Monday you will find the list of weekly spelling words and challenge words in your child’s homework packet. Throughout the week we will do many activities with these words at school. In addition, your child will need to review these words at home. Each Monday, students will be given a pre-spelling test on the regular spelling words. Final spelling tests will be given on Friday. Any student who receives a grade of 100% on the pre-test will have that grade recorded for the week. On Friday, these students will be tested on the list of challenge spelling words. While I will correct the challenge spelling tests, these scores will not be formally recorded. Students must be able to spell and print the words correctly. Neatness counts on the test, and letters must be formed correctly. Even if your child can verbally spell the words correctly, it is a good idea to have him/her practice writing the words, too. In addition to the regular spelling words and challenge words, I will also be dictating one sentence each week. I will be looking for capitalization at the beginning of the sentence, accurate punctuation, as well as correct letter formation and spelling. Once words are presented on our list of regular spelling words, these words are considered “sight words”, and students are expected to correctly spell these words in their daily writing. Thank you for your continued support! Miss McCarthy
