Spelling Homework

Hello, This year Quest Academy will be using two spelling programs. The first program is a high frequency word list.  The list has 300 words that all third graders should be able to read, write, and spell by the end of the year. The class was tested on the first 30 words. Individual spelling lists were created based on the words they missed from that list. This week, students will receive a username and password to spellingcity.com. After the students log in they will see a list with their name. Their list contains five words that they need to pass off. Each week your student will need to pass off a minimum of five words. They will take the tests at home and bring me the certificate or a signed note from you and I will update their list with the next five words. Learning these words will improve your childs writing as well as their reading. Please encourage them to practice, practice, practice. The second spelling program is “Words Their Way.”  “Words Their Way” is a phonics based program that teaches students to recognize phonics and word patterns. This program teaches each student on their level. This week will be a practice week and all students will be on the same level. Daily, I will review with the students their homework. Nightly, they will teach you what they learned. We will take a “Words Their Way,” test Friday. There will be weeks that are challenging so please trust your student and if you have any questions email me. This weeks “Words Their Way,” sort. Please print.
