[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I really don't think it's too much to ask, OP. Missing TWENTY 1st grade-level words is significant. My kids never missed more than one per test, and usually got them all correct. In the future, once you've moved on from those 20 words, ignore all the boring busywork they're asking and focus every week on teaching your child the definition of each word, how it's spelled, and how to use it in a sentence. No drawing pics, writing the word out in rainbow colors, or other inane activities. Just straight up work. It goes faster and it's WAY MORE EFFECTIVE. I would go down the list of words in the kitchen while cooking, and my daughter would shout out the spelling, and either she or I would make up a sentence with the word. Easy-peasy. [/quote] This is good advice. Focus the work on what the kid actually needs.[/quote]
