Mr. Denison

Your student's spelling instruction has 2 components. The first is the frequent word list that your student must know. We review these words every Monday and Friday. As soon as he/she gets 100% or 30/30 correct on a test they pass it off and no longer have to take the tests.

The second component are the Words Their Way words. These words focus on your students specific skill needs as determined by a periodic assessment. They will work almost daily on these words and rules so that they can extend them to other words.
