Red Words & Spelling Words
- Red Words are words that students are unable to sound out since they do not follow a basic phonetic pattern.
- Spelling Words will be words that follow the specific phoneme or skill that we are working on in class.
- Please refer to your child's Spelling Notebook each week for an updated list of words.
- Students should be studying their words daily.
