Weekly Spelling Lists
Each week, you will be assigned spelling words. On Monday, you will take a pre-test. This will show what words you already know and what words you will need to work hard on before the final test on Friday. On this page of the website, you can see the spelling words for each story in our reading book. If the words for the week are from a story or activity not in the book, I will give you the list in class.
