Our Spelling for Writers program is unique in that each student has a different set of individualized, self-selected words. Students take a pretest at the beginning of each week based on a particular generalization or pattern. After correcting the pretest themselves, students replace words spelled correctly with words from a "shopping list" containing more challenging words with the same pattern. This makes the post-test at the end of the week a little challenging because each student has a different set of words. Today we learned how to partner test by trading books and taking turns being the speller and the tester. The second graders did a great job for our first time practicing this!
