- I have compiled a list of high-utility words that are
frequently used in writing. Many of the words are seen more than
once through the spelling lists. Each Friday, the students will be
given a spelling pretest of 20 words. The words that the student
misses will be his or her spelling words for the week. If a student
makes 100% on the pretest, he or she will not have any spelling
words the following week. A 100% will be put in the gradebook for
the test. A student will have no more than 10 words in a week for
spelling. Spelling tests will be given on Thursdays. Students may
use this Powerpoint to study for the PRETEST on Friday. You
certainly dont have to! It is optional!
