[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS's kindergarten teacher worked with them on sight words, but they weren't expected to be able to spell them correctly. We just got a note from his teacher that we need to teach him to spell the 20 words he missed on the test. Not thrilled about having to try to bridge the gap between K and first grade. Is this normal? Did we miss something? Any tips for teaching spelling? [b]And what is up with making the kids draw pictures to illustrate their writing and then critiquing the drawings as part of assessing their writing[/b]? [/quote] The picture is supposed to match the writing and include the details the child included in their writing. [/quote] +1 If the child writes “the dog sat on the bed” and draws a picture of herself with her mom and Dad, it shows that while she can spell, she’s lacking comprehension and understanding of the words.
