Weekly Vocabulary and Spelling

Each week, our vocabulary quiz and comprehension and spelling quizzes will be on Friday. Students will also take a practice spelling quiz (not graded) on Thursday.

Students will receive a spelling choice board/study guide each week with activities to practice words (three choices/activities due on Friday).

Our weekly spelling and vocabulary words come from the HMH Into Reading book. There are twenty spelling words each week plus four review words and four challenged words. Our twenty regular spelling words will be on the weekly tests, and one surprise word selected from the review and challenge word lists will be given each week for a possibility of one bonus point each. There will be a varying amount of vocabulary words each week, but usually it will be around ten words each week. Vocabulary quizzes will be multiple choice and put the words into context.
