English Language Arts
- The child has learned to recognize and memorize specific spelling words.
- They have practiced their handwriting and fine motor skills while writing out the spellings.
- They may have improved their vocabulary by learning new words and their meanings.
- Additionally, they may have developed their understanding of phonics and sound-letter relationships.
For continued development, encourage your child to practice spelling words in fun and creative ways, such as using magnetic letters on a fridge, writing in sand or shaving cream, or creating a spelling word scavenger hunt in the house.
