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.

For the spelling list, you will need to check your child's homework folder on Monday (or the first day of the week). The words that your child needs to practice will be on a piece of notebook paper. We will do several word building activities during the week and there will be a practice test on Thursday. Any student who gets 100% on this test is exempt from the final test on Friday. The spelling lists will be individually adapted to challenge those students for whom spelling words comes easily and to add support for those students who find spelling difficult.
