[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't get too worked up about the spelling because MCPS is terrible at teaching that, so I wouldn't expect a kindergartener especially to be able to spell much of anything. Focus on reading first. Keep reading to them, make sure they read to you for 20 minutes, and go over the flashcards every day.[/quote] At this point in kindergarten, students should be fairly solid in spelling CVC words. In addition, knowing how to spell common sight words is important too so that they can write simple sentences.[/quote] [b]So they teach spelling now? [/b] That's actually good to hear. When my DC was in kinder and 1st they would have the kids "write" things but never corrected the spelling mistakes. First spelling test they have ever had is this year in 4th grade.[/quote] lol no. But it's still expected so you need to work with them at home.[/quote]
