Parents' Guide to 4th Grade Weekly
Spelling
Every Monday your child will bring home his A Beka
Spelling words(there is no textbook)in his R.E.B.E.L. Binder that he or she
should study during the week. The final test will be given to students
on Friday of that week. All words on weekly lists will follow a common
spelling pattern or rule. Sent home with the weekly spelling words are two
things:
1. Practice Spelling Test
A blank practice test will always be sent
home with you child's weekly spelling words. A parent or guardian should use
the worksheet to administer the practice test to students at home as a way to
prepare them for the final test in class on Friday. Any words that your child
spells wrong on the practice test should be rewritten three times on the back
of the practice test. The practice spelling test should then be signed by the
person who administered the test and returned to school on Friday morning (the
day of the final test in class). The at-home practice test can be given at any
time during the week. This practice test is worth 10 homework points each
week.
2. Teacher-Selected Spelling Activity
Each week your child will have at least one other
activity to do to practice their spelling words at home each week. I will send
one other activity along with their practice spelling test to do as a
mandatory assignment each week. The activity will be explained on a separate
sheet and sent home in their R.E.B.E.L. Binder along with their practice test
form. It should be returned to school on Friday morning (the day of the final
spelling test) along with the completed practice test. This activity sheet
is worth 10 homework points each week.
3. Spelling Lists
Spelling lists will be added to the
website each week for parental access.
