Spelling Words for August 20-24, 2007

A Sitton Review will be administered each Thursday as a pretest for the following week. The words that a student is unable to spell on the pretest will be added to his/her spelling list in their agenda for the following week. These words become the priority words that the student needs to learn for the dictation spelling test on Friday. The Sitton dictation sentences continually recycle previous high frequency words that the student should already know.

Each student will also be assigned pattern words, content words, or challenge words based on their ability level. The blog will list the words from which the spelling lists will be generated. Partners will administer the spelling tests on Friday.

Please refer to your child’s agenda for their individualized spelling list for the week. Each student will have 10-15 words each week.
