Spelling

     This year we are using a combination of several programs - Phun Phonics, Project Read, Houghton Mifflin, and Spaulding.  We are learning the sounds through music, tactile experiences, drill and practice, and other multisensory approaches.  We use the Louisiana Comprehensive Curriculum as a basis for choosing which sounds and letter patterns we will be learning.  Each week, our spelling words consist of words that can be sounded out, and we will have 2 or 3 words that need to be memorized (Dolch words).
