Spelling Lists

The Spelling Process Contract/Test Days
  • Every Friday students take a pre-test in spelling                                                   and based on their results, this determines if they are                                            on the regular list or alternate list.
  • To be on the Alternate List a student can miss no more                                            than one word on a spelling test.
  • After taking the pre-test, students are given two copies of their                         spelling lists and a contract to be completed.  
  • After students write down any bonus words that they have,                                   then they cut their spelling sheet in half.  
  • One half goes in their take home folder while the other goes                                 in their writing folder.
  • Perfect Score on the pretest spelling contract
 Spelling Contracts are always due on Thursday morning.  Thursday morning is also the day of the test for that unit.  Each day that a spelling contract is late, points will be deducted.
