For Abby's spelling this year, I chose to not purchase a curriculum because there is an abundance of spelling lists for all levels available on the Internet. As a review, Abby's first four weeks of spelling consisted of sight words from first grade. Since then, I have used spelling lists that are available on Spelling City. Lists do not require a log-in and password, but some of the activities are unavailable without it. However, other lists can be found from a simple search of the internet. I generally try to use a list where the words have something in common. For example, some of Abby's lists have included -oi and -oy words, glued sounds (-ild, old, -ind), and ending sounds (-less, -ment, -ful, -ness).
Spelling requires of repetition, phonetic understanding, and practice. However, I didn't want to just have Abby write her spelling words each week but use different strategies to learn the spelling words. So I created this packet that can be used with any spelling list. Also, since there is a wide array of activities, each week can be different. In total, the packet includes 15 pages (13 spelling activities, 1 weekly guide sheet, and 1 sheet of additional activities.) Hopefully, this packet can be beneficial for your little speller whether you homeschool or not!!!!
