We will be working on learning different spelling patterns while learning different phonics rules. We will work on these daily in class, so I will not assign any spelling words for homework. I can give you the rules your child is learning if you are interested. Your child will be given spelling words from his/her classroom teacher to learn each week. Here are some fun ways you can practice your words.
