Saxon Spelling

Saxon Spelling

Our spelling words will be taken from the Saxon Phonics program.  By learning the most common ways to spell specific sounds, children can successfully spell all words with regular spelling patterns and are limited to merely memorizing words for a spelling test.  A series of short, simple rules explaining typical spelling patterns will be taught and continually reviewed in class. 

Spelling Tips:

Review any applicable spelling rules before your child spells words.  

Provide definitions or use words in sentences when necessary. 

Give your child sufficient time to attempt spelling words independently.  Then unblend each word, so they can distinctly hear and spell each sound.

Spell each word aloud after your child has had time to write it, so they can check and correct their work immediately.
