SPELLING



__SPELLING __

Students are using //Sitton Spelling//. It differs from the traditional way of spelling, as students are not going to have a set spelling list each week. //Sitton Spelling// focuses on language skills and word study. Typically the students will work through one unit each week. The units consist of five core words, skills packet, take home task, and a test. The five core words are guaranteed to appear on the spelling test, and will quite possibly appear later on a different test. The spelling tests are broken into three parts: word test, skill test, and proof-reading test. Please review the attached documents to aid in your spelling studies.
