Unit Spelling Pages
Spelling for the year will be these lists primarily week after week.
The pretest is given at the beginning of the week and then the final test at the end of the week. If 20 out of 20 are achieved on the pretest then there is no need for a final test. Also, to reinforce the words and writing 10 to 20 sentences are assigned with the list and due on Thursday. Finally, to help with mid-term memory there will be retesting about every 7 weeks. Mr. Wilson likes to target 3 day weeks for this when possible.
