• 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.
