Spelling & VocabularySpelling homework varies per student. At the beginning of the year, we conduct a spelling inventory. It is a "test" that is not studied for and helps place your child in a spelling group. That group is given a list of words to study. Not only do students the words, but most importantly, students should be studying the pattern. Please view the following files to read more. I have also uploaded the answers to the sorts, these are only for parents to assist their student. Spelling and vocabulary tests will rotate every two weeks. This means students will have two weeks to study each set of words.
4th Grade is following the Sadlier-Oxford Vocabulary Workshop book. It is designed to help younger students increase and improve their vocabulary. Many words in this book are ones that students will encounter in science, social studies, and literature, as well as reading outside the classroom.
