Spelling Homework

What should spelling homework look like? Thanks to Kayla and Megan, we have two perfect examples. Some things to take note of:

1. Words are written three times each with markings and syllabication.
2. Words are written in columns. Each column contains the entire list. The columns are folded so that the student is looking at only one column at a time. The purpose is not to memorize the word, but to analyze the word each time they write it.
3. Each word is used in a sentence. Sentences contain eight or more words and infer the meaning of the spelling word.
4. Sentence openers and dress ups are used in the spelling sentences.
