Third Grade Spelling



On Friday we talked about what to do when we come to a word in our writing that we aren't sure how to spell. I tell students to make their best guess (so that they don't lose the momentum of their writing by stopping to look it up), then underline the word. That will make editing so much easier later on!

Something else that I ask parents to help me do for students is to watch carefully for misspelled words from our Word Wall. If a student misspells any word from the Word Wall at any time, I don't correct the word but instead write a small "ww" next to the word. That reminds the student that it is a word he or she should know, and prompts them to check the correct spelling on the wall.
