Here are some quick and easy ways to review for our weekly Spelling
assessments:
>Have your child find the spelling words in stories that they read at home.
>Give a definition of the word instead of the word itself...this will help
develop vocabulary as well.
>Have your child use the word in a sentence (orally or in written format)or
have them tell you the definition of the word.
>Have your child identify different vowel or consonant patterns in the
week's list.
>"I'm thinking of a word that has a suffix that is added to the base word
(root word) loud.
>Which spelling word rhymes with...?
The process doesn't have to be a cumbersome one...just a simple way to help
your child to success!
