Join the party to prepare for this week's spelling test! In this study session students will be tackling the five toughest words of their weekly spelling list (learner needs to pick 5 words before class). We will enjoy finding clues, learning tips and tricks and using visual word association. Let's dust off those thinking caps and enjoy studying for the spelling test! 1. Students will identify parts of the words and look for clues (ex. special sounds, blends, tricky combinations). 2. Students will share ideas and word associations. 3. Teacher will model using different techniques. 4. At the end of the class, we will have a practice test.
Learning Goals
Students will demonstrate confidence and ability to tackle the five toughest words on their spelling list.
