Today we started a new process to assist the students further in learning to spell the words they misspell in their writing or mispronounce in their reading (Conquer Words). Ask your child to show you their current list.
The Process
- Each student has an individual Google Doc with an ongoing and continually changing list of conquer words.
- This document has been bookmarked on their MacBook.
- Students practise spelling the words at home and school.
- Words are assessed at school on a regular basis.
- The web address of the Google doc is only known to individual students.
Who can add to the list?
- Students
- Teachers who have access (including myself and Sonia Caielli)
- Parents – when reading or writing at home with your child, ask them to add a misspelt or interesting word to their Conquer List.
Why the change?
- Parents can keep up to date with their child’s Conquer Words.
- The shared list allows us to type in words directly into the student’s conquer words when we are marking their work.
- Students have a place to type their words from school or home, without the need of their spelling books.
Parents please keep on track of these words on a regular basis and do some informal and fun practise of these words with your child at home.
Please let me know if you have any concerns or thoughts.
Best Regards
Adrian
