Vocabulary and Spelling Words



 

 

Scroll down until you see the title of the story we are currently reading together. The assessed vocabulary words are listed along with their definitions. 

 

You will also find the basic spelling list for that week. Each week you can expect a pre-test on Monday (or the first day of the week). The words that your child needs to practice will be noted on the pre-test. There will also be a practice test on Thursday. Any student who gets 100% on this test is exempt from the final test on Friday. After the first few weeks of school, the spelling lists may be adapted to challenge those students for whom the words are too easy or to add support for those students who find the words too difficult. You will be notified if your child is affected by these changes.
