Spelling Procedures: Five Done Well
Most weeks, on Tuesday mornings, record five words from your personal spelling
list onto the first column of you “Weekly Word Study”. Give the Weekly Word
Study to me to check. On Tuesday evening, you will complete your “Weekly Word
Study” following the procedures in your spelling folder. You should practice
your words again on Wednesday to prepare for a partner quiz on Thursdays. You
can plan on a “pop” quiz every other week.
Here it is in a snap shot:
MONDAY: Prepare five words for tomorrow.
TUESDAY: Record five words onto your Weekly Word Study- turn in to me. TUESDAY
HOMEWORK: Complete the spelling procedure for each word.
WEDNESDAY HOMEWORK: Review words for partner quiz and complete sentences.
Follow rules for writing sentences.
THURSDAY: Partner quiz
