Spelling Lists - Challenge |
|
| *Fourth graders
earn the challenge list when they miss 0, 1, or 2 on the pretest given
each Monday. *Any words they missed from the pretest will also be tested on Friday, so be sure to study those, too! (This means your child will have 10, 11, or 12 words to study depending on the number missed on the pretest.) *The challenge list must be earned each week. *Challenge words are derived from the vocabulary words for the story we are reading from our basal as well as frequently misspelled words that fourth graders use in their writing. |
