Spelling FAQ

The students have had lots of questions about spelling and I figured it would be a great idea to answer all of them in one place!

• Spelling Pretests are given right away Monday morning
• There are 15 words on the list and we go over them together. The students check their own paper
• Depending on how many words the student got right, they are given a new list to practice for the week. Your list may not look the same every week! 
• In their green homework folder, there is some suggested spelling homework for the week. This is not required and you do not have to return it to school (although you can) but it is recommended to help them practice their words all week!
• We practice the spelling words during our Workstation time every day, but the majority of spelling practice is done at home. You can find lots of ideas on how to practice spelling words online!
• Spelling Post Test is done right away on Friday mornings

Hopefully that clears up some of the questions you may be having at home about Spelling! 2nd grade learns so many words a week including vocabulary words, high frequency words, words in their stories, as well as their spelling words, so it is important to practice these at home!
