Spelling Update

Hi Parents!

Thank you all for the hard work you are putting in with your children.  I know (trust me, I know) that things are not always smooth and don’t always go according to plan.  Our children don’t always do what we expect or hope and things can be a struggle.  Breathe.  Take a break.  It will be okay.

I just wanted to give you an update on our green spelling duotangs.  I felt like things went quite well for us this week and I was happy to work with your child on these words during our meetings.  Going forward, I am happy to continue to use my meeting time with your child to work on those words, but I am also happy to let you work on those lists at home.  Day 1 you would say the word to your child and have them say it slowly to you, printing the letters carefully as they go.  Day 2 you would say the word, and your child would need to work on hearing the sounds in the words (you can help if needed) and print the letters accurately on the lines).  Day 3 is similar only now there are no letters on the page for them to trace.  If you could keep the following guidelines in mind when doing the spelling words, I would so appreciate it:

  1.  How we print our letters (where we start and end) and where we put them on the lines is one of the main purposes of this activity.  If you notice your child has not put their letters in the correct place, please encourage them to correct it, or, I can help them with that during our meeting.  All letters should sit on the baseline (no floating in outerspace!)
  2. Practicing hearing the sounds in words and printing what we hear is the other main purpose of this activity.  Saying the words slowly and emphasizing the sounds in the words is very important practice.

Please let me know if you have any questions about this as we move onto week 2.  You are all amazing!
