Sequential Spelling Sample
Follow these directions carefully:
- Ask your class to spell: beginning. Let's start at the beginning. beginning.
Tell your students that all they have to do is put down some of the letters they think might be in the word beginning. Collect the papers. You will want to compare any misspellings with the spellings you will get on the 5th and 6th days. - Give the following tests on separate but consecutive class days. You say the word. Use it in a sentence. Give the word again. Every student must at least attempt to spell the word.
- After each student has tried and before going to the next word, give the correct spelling. Let each student correct his own paper.
