Spelling

The adapted plan for spelling, thanks to Marsha Johnson at waldorf home educators yahoo group:
Monday- I will present the words, one at a time, and let Avery try to orally spell them. We will also define words, looking in the dictionary for words we don't know.
Tuesday- He will write out each word 3 times
Wednesday- Quiz 1- write any misspelled words 3 times
Thursday- Quiz 2 (previously misspelled words)- write any misspelled words 3 times
Friday- Quiz 3 (previously misspelled words)
The spelling list for each week with definitions will go in a notebook, and old spelling words will pop up in quizzes here and there.
We will be using McGuffey's Eclectic Speller, with some words from our reading added in.
