Fundations - Spelling
Fundations is our phonics/spelling program. Fundations is a whole class reading program that instructs kids in the basics of reading: from simple letter-sound correspondence, to consonant - vowel - consonant words, to multisyllabic words.
Each week students will be learning markings to help them remember the new spelling pattern that is introduced. And then each Friday they will be tested on 5 words they were given on Monday, and 5 mystery words that we will work with in class during the week. Students will also be tested on "trick words," or words that don't follow the spelling patterns. All "trick words" will be introduced to students in class, and sent home with the spelling list on Monday. Below are the spelling patterns we will be learning, as well as examples on how to mark the patterns.
