Spelling words for the year.
The spelling words are in proper week order. They will always correspond to the spelling sheet sent home weekly in the homework packet. The last 5 words of each list are words that are in the reading for that week. Vocabulary words are not part of the spelling test, but they must be spelled correctly on worksheets or they are counted as incorrect. Students need to understand the meaning of the words.
