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!) I give spelling tests and I teach Kindergarten. I have been questioned about this too. I think it is important that spelling tests are given in any grade, especially in Kindergarten. Learning to read and sounding words out phonetically is key in lower grades. So in response to the principals question I would have to say that yes, it does benefit all students.
