I have posted Fry Word lists under the "Home Resources" tab of this blog. Weekly spelling words will continue to go home in homework packets on Mondays. The second grade team has decided it is best for students to learn those words as we go along for several reasons:
1. If students have memorized spelling words we cannot identify phonics areas they may need work on in pre-tests. Pre-tests help inform instruction so your child will not only learn one word, but many other words with similar patterns
2. The spelling words we send home in homework packets coincide with
our reading instruction and thus vocabulary and phonics study.
Please work with the Fry lists and Spelling City as extra practice at home as you see fit. Thank you!
