Lessons will be taught each week with each new set of words listed on the spelling handout. There will be a new focus skill each week. We will have 15 regular words, 2 application words (words students can't study for but have to apply the weekly skills), and 3 review words from the previous week. 1 challenge word will be chosen each week for 5 extra points. Classwork will be given with these words to help with practice and learning. Week 1 Test will only assess the 15 words and a bonus word.
Students who make a D or F on a Spelling Test will be given homework the following week to ensure proper studying techniques and to hold them accountable.
