Each Monday (or Tuesday after a holiday), we will take a Pretest to determine which spelling list is the most appropriate for each student. The list that your child studies can change each week. Your child will be coming home with a paper copy of their list, stapled to their Pretest, and the list will also be posted here all week. The Bonus Words can only help the grade on your child’s test. Spelling them incorrectly will not count against their grade.
