SPELLING INFORMATION

New spelling lists will be given out every Day 1.  Spelling assessments will always be on Day 5.  As you study, be sure to talk with your child about the meaning of words he/she may not know.  This is a good way to build their vocabulary and spelling proficiency at the same time.
