Below is a list of skills each spelling lesson will cover this year in our Wordsmith spelling program by Cheryl Rose Campbell and Tricia Gray. Students will work with words at the morphological stage, which is to understand complex words through the parts that have meaning. For example, in (not) + flex (bend) + ible (state of) = not able to bend. Morphemes are grouped by roots and affixes. Students will cover 19 roots this year. Affixes include prefixes and suffixes. They will learn the meaning of more than 55 affixes. Students will learn to group words together in an organized way and strengthen his/her knowledge of word meanings by 60%!!!
The weekly assessment will be given once we have completed all lessons for the week. I will always let you know. Some weeks will have a varying schedule due to our school calendar. Please reference your child's planner or feel free contact me with questions. Click the file below for the first 10 weeks of lessons.
