Please help your child to study these words each week. Thanks! and, the, of, a, to, let, how --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why is spelling important? Countless hours of research over many years confirms that a good literacy education must include a structured spelling program, where children learn the rules. Children need to be taught spelling, especially beginning and emergent spellers (First Graders). The developmental aspects of learning to spell must include word study. Word study comes about through reading fluency, writing fluency, correct pronunciation of words, vocabulary development, and spelling accuracy. This instruction lays the ground work for reading and writing at later grade levels. Your children will be responsible for learning the Level One Core Words in the Sitton Spelling Program. These words are the high frequency words that appear in writing and are expected to be spelled correctly in all of their everyday writing. Your children will be exposed to the First Grade “Dolch” Sight Vocabulary Words when they are chosen each week as “Challenge Words”. Soon, they will be working on the Second Grade Dolch Sight Vocabulary Words. These words are more difficult because they usually cannot be sounded out. We call these surprise words because you “just have to know how to spell them”. Each time we have an assessment of these words, they are put up on our Word Wall for future exposure and reference. Please work with your children each week on their spelling words. Repeated exposure to these words is essential for spelling success. |
