Dear Parents/Guardians,
I am pleased to inform you that your child will be learning spelling skills
through a developmental spelling approach called Words Their Way. Each week
your child will be working on activities to improve their spelling. Your
child will be sorting words by letter patterns to become more proficient
spellers, readers, and writers.
These word sorts will be completed in a marble notebook. Feel free to go
over the words and their patterns with your child as you see needed. Every
Friday your child will be assessed on the spelling skills and words. At the
end of the week your child will be able to take home his/her word sorts.
Please have your child show you the word sort and tell you how he/she used
them in the classroom. It is advisable to keep the sorts in a safe place so
that your child can practice them throughout the year.
I look forward to helping your child achieve academic success this year.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Green
