Spelling
The stages are Letter Name (LN), Within Word (WW), Syllable Juncture (SJ), and Derivational Constancy (DC). Lists will be posted on this site according to their abbreviation, so it is important that students know the stage abbreviation of their lists. A list of words will be given to them to take home or keep in the sleeve of their take-home folder and another list will be kept as sorting cards at school to practice spelling patterns during class activities. Tests will be given on Fridays, and depending on the stage students are in will determine what room they will take their test in. Fourth grade teachers will each take a stage to administer the tests on Fridays to limit the confusion and time it would take to give 2-4 tests in the homeroom classroom.
