Each week, we will study 5 new words off the Dolch word list (most commonly used in reading and writing.) Your child will write these words in his/her agenda each Monday and we will do activities with them all week long. It is important that you practise the words at home with them a few times a week. I will also give 2 challenge words each week, for those students who are needing this challenge. I do not like to dictate who can study these challenge words, however, I ask you as a parent to stress to your child, the importance of learning our regular word list BEFORE trying the challenge words. If they have all 5 words and would like to practice ONE of the challenge words or BOTH - this is fine. Some weeks, they may be ready for a challenge word and some weeks they might not be. The important thing is that everyone learn the 5 words and if they need a challenge, it is there for them.
Words will be posted under this tab each week. There WILL NOT be a formal quiz on these words, however the children will be engaged in many activities with them and they will be added to our word wall at the end of each week.
