[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school won't start sending homework home until October, according to my child's teacher. I'm surprised to hear about spelling words because my kid is still working on reading/writing anything correctly! He is still in the "Hape brda mom" stage--which his K teacher said was fine. They have a list of sight words, but he hasn't had to spell them himself yet, just read them. His reading comprehension when listening is totally fine (we read chapter books and above-grade-level books every day). I guess this is something that may be coming for us soon...?[/quote]

Your experience sounds more like my experience with MCPS first grade than the OP and I would not assume that this type of spelling work is coming for you soon.  My older kid definitely had spelling words in 3rd, not sure about 2nd, she may have.  Definitely didn't in first.  Must be different in different schools/classrooms.     [/quote]

Yup, my kid's first grade class is having its first spelling test this Friday.  No word list sent home though...[/quote]
