NOTE: For the most part, Spelling practice takes place at home. Taking time to help your child with Spelling is the most successful way for them to learn. For example, try writing the words five times every night. Have your child bring home the 8-Step Method. Write Sentences containing spelling words. Focus on what works for your child. Students are required to write each misspelled Spelling Tetst word 20 times, staple it to their tests, and turn them in on Mondays.
