  2. Spelling Program A developmental approach is used. Children will be sorting a list of words each week according to a spelling pattern. As they see patterns within words they will be able to apply these spelling strategies to their everyday writing. The children will have a test on the words for the week every Friday. The children will do their homework in the word study notebook.Inside the cover will be a list explaining Monday-Thursday night’s homework. Every Monday children will have a list of words to cut apart and keep in a safe spot at home. They will be working with these words and studying them each night.

  3. Reading Program Children will be grouped according to reading level. They will have small group instruction in order to learn decoding, phonics, and comprehension skills. They will be bringing their guided reading books home to read each week.
