Case: Effective Spelling test
The principal at my school is questioning my grade level giving spelling test. Our grade level currently gives sight words as spelling test. My principals argument is, "Does this benefit all students?". What do you feel about giving a grade for spelling test?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
While spelling is beneficial to the writing process, it is not always a skill that needs to be graded. Students should learn to put words together with sounds. After this phase, students should then be able to read the sight word, and apply that word in their writing. For example, in students writing journals, you could have a list of all sight words that the student can independently read. The student can then refer to this while they are writing. Not only will this give reading practice often, it will help the student learn how the word is spelled, and not feel pressured to learn spelling isolated. |

Comments: I like the idea of incorporating the spelling into the writing exercises, and using the sight work in a practical application, as opposed to just testing rote memorization. |
