Spelling Terms

The Spelling Program derives from our Language Arts Curriculum (National Geographic and Reach for Reading. The words are used and applied in the science and social science lessons, stories and videos in the program. The spelling pre-assessments take place on Monday with a post-assessment on Friday.  The ELA program integrates the spelling words, vocabulary and its common uses on a regular basis.
