[quote=Anonymous]A lot of differences it appears. Our child gets 10 new words each week with the quiz on Friday. He is assigned to a spelling group with 8 other kids that go to another first grade teacher for the spelling lesson. His entire class is divided up this way but we have yet to figure out (have a meeting to discuss with teacher) how they pretest for group division was made. During the spelling lesson the kids write down the 10 words from a list, once while looking at the list. Then the teacher reads the words out loud and talks briefly about the catergory of words (beginning with th, ending with e etc). The kids have very little further instruction on the words and are require to take the quiz on Friday. Seeing on the board other parents talking about writing and spelling in middle school and higher grades in ES I can see why kids are having problems. It is not well taught and yet required.[/quote]
