While "Spelling tests" are a thing of the past, we still have "word work" that the kids are tested on each week. Each Monday they are given a pre-test and that will allow the teacher to assign them to a skill appropriate word list to study and be tested on for Friday. Well, Bryn is the perfect student...loves to come home and work on homework and would never tire from reading, writing, or studying. We have never really "practiced" words...she just gets them. She qualified for the hardest list, or "challenging" words and does really well with them! Adelyn qualified for List 2 (she aced List 1, go Ady!) but boy oh boy what a rough week of practicing! On Wednesday, I came up with a game that has really helped improve her list! I made a letter board using sidewalk chalk and she would jump from letter to letter to spell whatever word I would shout out. I am THRILLED to share that both girls got 100% on their first tests! :)
