Spelling

Our spelling program is made up of two components: 1. High Frequency words 2. Hearing and Recording Sounds (McCracken Spelling Program)

Each month your child will be given a list of 8-14 words to practice learning to read and spell at home. We will focus on these words in our poems and songs time and briefly during our spelling time. At the end of each month your child will be tested on these words and then given a new set of words. There are 63 high frequency words that your child is expected to master in grade one.

In class, we will focus a of our spelling time learning how to hear the sounds within words and to record them on paper in order to successfully spell words on own own.

Spelling City is a fantastic resource for practicing spelling words on the computer. Students get a chance to use it during guided reading/computer time. It is also available to use at home. I have posted all of our words for the entire grade one year on this site under my name: Christine Williams.

I believe four choices come up, choose McIsaac School and you should be set. Unfortunately we only have the free version so all the premium games will not be available. This site was a class favorite last year and is a very FUN way to learn to spell. There are also great printables worth checking out!
