Spelling and reading haven't come easily for Lily. Let's face it, English is a complicated language. Lily is in Grade three and begins the week with a list of spelling words she is expected to master before her test on the Tuesday of the following week. The day she brings it home, we do a random spelling test at the kitchen table and see which words she knows and which ones are posing a difficuilty. There have always been a few that do not come naturally. So Lily writes the words out four times each as one of her study methods. During the course of the week we will do one or two more spelling quizzes at home and then she only has to write out the ones she gets wrong and we try to come up with a mental method for memorizing words that are hard. I have to say that although the spelling of the words isn't second nature to Lily, studying is something she is darn good at. That's all that matters. Here is today's spelling test and as you can see we didn't study the word "bonus" (bounes) but she nailed all of her other spelling words, and even the bonus word Halloween! Way to go Lily.
