Spelling instruction and application is integrated into the student's writing process. Students spelling (word work) grade is integrated into their reading and English grades.
However, a spelling pattern is highlighted each week and practiced. Students will be introduced to each week's pattern every Friday. Tests will be the following Thursday.
We use the Spell-to-Read Methodology for our spelling: Hear It - Write It - Read It - Use It.
5th Grade Spelling Words: Students will be tested on Thursdays. Tests will consist of correctly spelling random selected words from each week's list, correctly answering questions by reflecting on the spelling strategy for the week, & student will self select 5 of the words to correctly write (spelling & grammar) sentences or a short paragraph.
