Words Their Way Spelling

Scholars have begun the Word Their Way Spelling program. Here's our weekly schedule:
  • Monday
    • Scholars sort words into categories by spelling pattern and receive their spelling lists. 
    • The practice lists are posted on the SpellingCity App and to http://www.spellingcity.com/lambert4th/ .
  • Spelling words are homework. 
    • Scholars should use SpellingCity at home to practice their assigned words with games or by taking a practice test. 
  • Thursday
    • Tests include 10 words from the practice list and 4 "mystery" words that follow that week's pattern.
    • Scholars use SpellingCity to take their tests. 
    • They have the option to either type or write their words on notebook paper.
    • Students then write the words into categories based on their spelling pattern.
