Our spelling program this year will focus on building vocabulary skills through the study of greek and latin roots. We will study prefixes, base words, and suffixes in order to help students learn the meaning of words through the study of word roots.
This year, we will take two weeks to focus on a single topic, such as compound words. At the end of the first week, we will have a Spelling Test that focuses only on how to spell a given list of words. At the end of the second week, we will have a Vocabulary test that focuses on word meaning and how to use words correctly in sentences.
Students will typically have have Spelling/Vocabulary homework Monday through Thursday. Students will receive a homework sheet every two weeks at the beginning of a new unit of focus. The homework sheet will contain a set of Word Study activities and a set of Quick Write activities. Students will be assigned either a Word Study or Quick Write activity of their choice each night for homework.
