In each class, a new spelling rule will be taught.

Week 15 - New Syllable c+le (le words) (steeple, bubble)
Week 16 - oa, ow, and oe
Week 17 - ou, ough, old, ost 
Week 18 - three ways to make the /er/ sound and suffix tion (reservation)
Week 19 - short u (closed door, ou, and oo) and suffix cious (subconscious, country, weatherproof)
Week 20 - ie as long I and as long e (dignified, grievance)


After the lesson, we will practice spelling words with that rule. They may write them on the a white board or type in the chat. I do encourage them to break the word into syllables. I do this for two reasons. 1. It is a great way to focus on the parts of the word. 2. This will keep spell check from jumping in. 

If you have an older child who struggles with spelling, this will be a great class for them. Since this is designed for older students, it is a fast-paced class. 

Every child will be participating by using their own whiteboard and have a chance to show their work.
