Spelling Procedures
Students will work on the same spelling list for a period of two weeks. On the first day of a newly assigned list, the students will be given a pre-test.
Those students who earn a 95% or better on their pre-test will be assigned challenge words. A pre-test grade will be recorded, and a challenge test grade will be recorded. Students that are assigned challenge words must learn the definitions of the words as well as be able to spell them.
A student who missed 2-5 words on the pre-test will test over all 20 words on the first final test. If he/she achieves a 95% or better on the first final test, he/she will be assigned challenge words for the following Friday. Students that earn challenge status for the first Friday also will not be required to write their spelling words for the week!
Students who miss more than 5 words on the pre-test will test over words #1-10 on the first final test. Words #11-20 will be assigned for the second Friday test.
The first final test will be given on the Friday or last day of the first week.
Students earning a 100% on the challenge test the first Friday will earn a "Free Friday" for the second week.
