As a parent, I know spelling lists are sometimes sent home weekly to practice for assessments.
I remember taking spelling tests every week as a child.
Using the spelling words in daily language is a good way to make them become less scary. ]]> 2021-06-28 01:35:41 UTC https://padlet.com/dynamitegirl12/106pm5rvn1bjse14/wish/1627504332 Assessing Spelling dynamitegirl12 https://padlet.com/dynamitegirl12/106pm5rvn1bjse14/wish/1627509965 Weekly tests.
Teacher can call out the word for students to write and spell individually.
Teacher can call out the word and students can choose what word is misspelled from a multiple choice option.
Students can find the misspelled words from a sentence. ]]> 2021-06-28 01:38:47 UTC https://padlet.com/dynamitegirl12/106pm5rvn1bjse14/wish/1627509965 Less of a chore dynamitegirl12 https://padlet.com/dynamitegirl12/106pm5rvn1bjse14/wish/1627513367 I want to know how to make learning how to spell fun.
How do you make the words stick long term, not just for the test?
How to involve parents, without the use of a list.

Letter patterns are based off of history not phonic rule.
I didn't realize all of the linguistic patterns used to spell.]]> 2021-06-28 01:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dynamitegirl12/106pm5rvn1bjse14/wish/1627521947 Successful Spellers dynamitegirl12 https://padlet.com/dynamitegirl12/106pm5rvn1bjse14/wish/1627543507 Use all linguistic methods combined to spell.
Basically a system of checks and balances.
Need to be taught explicitly ]]> 2021-06-28 01:59:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dynamitegirl12/106pm5rvn1bjse14/wish/1627543507 Tests dynamitegirl12 https://padlet.com/dynamitegirl12/106pm5rvn1bjse14/wish/1627690919 Aren't a complete method of teaching spelling.
Used ineffectively.
Interviews with students about their tests, can help them.
Diagnostic tests are good for finding actual spelling strengths and weaknesses. 

There is so much more to learning spelling than simply weekly tests.
