WORD STUDY:

A Week at a Glance
Monday:
Every Monday a new spelling pattern is
introduced in class. All students will be given
10 words to study at home that follow the
pattern for the week. Students will also be
assigned 5 new high frequency words to study.
On this day a word study packet will also come
home that explains the new spelling pattern and describes the
related homework activities. Students have all week at home to
work on the assignments and are asked to return the homework
packet to school on Friday, the day of the weekly test.

Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday:

In school, students will be exposed to words that will help them
practice both the pattern-based spelling words and their
assigned high frequency words. At home, students should spend
some time each night working on their weekly word study packet
and studying their assigned words.

Friday:
The weekly spelling test will always be on Friday. This is also the
day the word study packet should be returned to school. On the
following Monday, the corrected test will be returned to students
so that they can record any words that they spelled wrong in
their word study folder at school. If students misspell a high
frequency word, it will remain on their high frequency word list
until it is spelled correctly. This means your childs corrected
spelling test will not come home until Monday.
