You should have the spelling list already written out in your teacher's binder. It's under "blueprints". The words for this week are fairly simple. If you spend some time watching disc 2, you ought to get a good grasp on how to approach the spelling lists. It looks like the only Rule Tune that you need to know this week is Rule Tune #1. She sings it again for you in Week 6, so you can hear it there (the rule tunes are also in your binder just before the spelling list for Week 5).

lindsrae Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 And you just give a few words every day, not the whole list. You review the ones they have trouble with, but you don't wait to test all the words on Friday. The first time I sat down and watched the video, I took extensive notes so I wouldn't have to watch them again for DDs 2 and 3. I love Mrs. Beers, but watching her spell out Every. Single. Word. gets a little old :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandymom Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 It's funny, because my 5 year old LOVES to watch the video with me. We start the week by watching the video. He follows along with the word list in my notebook. When it comes time to work on his words, he needs very little help and few reminders. It cracks me up, because I think the videos are rather boring. He loves them though. My DS really liked using the letter cards at first (esp the cards to mark the words). Now he prefers to write the words on the white board or on paper. We don't use the notebook for most of his writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
