Spelling
Dear Families,
As a first grade team, we are very excited to launch our spelling curriculum, which will foster student growth and will work toward transitioning from inventive, developmental spelling toward correct spelling in daily writing activities.
Students have been given a spelling inventory and differentiated lists have been assigned. Throughout the year, we will have multiple spelling inventory checks-ins to ensure your child has an appropriately differentiated list. Students will be given a list of words to practice at home and will participate in activities here at school to support the learning of the words. After home and school practice, students will be prepared to take an assessment every other Friday on their respective lists.
It is our ultimate goal for students to learn how to spell their assigned words correctly and to be able to apply learned skills, in order to identify and spell other words with similar patterns. First graders will be held accountable for incorporating learned spelling strategies in their daily writing.
Thank you so much for your continued help and support at home!
Sincerely,
The First Grade Team
