I encourage students to show their parents how they did on their spelling list and which word was the toughest. Any words of struggle, should be retaught and practiced for mastery.

Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
This class is designed to teach all the rules and patterns that kiddos sometimes get caught up on when spelling and reading.  These rules also will help them to decode words while reading.  Knowing the rules about the different diphthongs help to write and read words with those vowel patterns.  Or knowing what an open syllable is will assist them to segment words for spelling and reading that pattern. Learning how to spell words is one of the most useful and lifelong skills and it builds the basic foundation that all children will need throughout their education and life in general. Learning how to spell is very important for other basic skills, including writing and reading. See the outline of the class below.

CLASS OUTLINE:
-Teacher introduce the spelling rule/pattern and strategy to spell the pattern.
-Teacher and students review the spelling list and identify the rule/pattern in each word.
-Teacher and students identify common misconceptions of the spelling of the words.
-Students practice spelling these words by using each syllable and enter their spelling in the chat (just to me).
-Quick game: Which word is spelled correctly
-Students share out the toughest word for them from the list to focus on in future spellings
