In first grade we take spelling tests once a week on Friday. On short weeks, like last week we will have a spelling practice test week where we still have words we practice every day but its not as much of a weighted grade as a regular spelling test. I like to have a full 5 days to practice with the kids before they take the test on Friday. Everyday I devote 1 literacy center to practicing spelling words or putting our words into sentences. We also practice spelling out the words as a group activity on the carpet. Thursday night is spelling homework night. This gives the kids one last chance to practice their weekly list before the test. Above is a picture of our spelling words this week.
