SPELLING LESSONS

Spelling
At the beginning of each week, the children copy their weekly spelling list into their agenda. They are given 15 words.
Occasionally, we do worksheets related to the spelling words in our language lessons, however, most of the time, students are encouraged to practice the words at home in order to prepare for the test at the end of the week.
 Ten words are picked by the teacher for the test and are marked by the teacher on the day of the test. Spelling corrections should be done at home on the weekend with each incorrect word written the proper way 3 times.
