Spelling


In first grade we start spelling in November.  However, it's never too early to begin working on our "No Excuse" Words!  "No Excuse" words are those which students are expected to spell correctly in all of their everyday writing. They are taken from the list of core words. Below are the groups of words that we hope most children will master by the end of his/her first grade. Please help your child to spell these words correctly in their everyday writing!
