Dear Parents/Guardians,

In this folder are all of the vocabulary and spelling words for our Reading Street Reading textbook. This folder will need to be brought to school each day and taken home each night.

Each page contains two selections or stories of vocabulary/spelling words. The top is one week then below the line is the next week. Students will write the date of the week in which we start that selection on the line that reads Week of ____.

Vocabulary words are on the left hand side under the heading Vocabulary Words. Students should be able to read these words and know the meaning or definition of the words.

Spelling words are on the right hand side under the heading Spelling Words. Students should be able to read these words, know the meaning, AND spell them. A Spelling test will usually be given on Friday. Students will be instructed to write the date the test will be given near the spelling words. There will be NO pretest given in our classroom, however, you are certainly welcome to do a pretest at home if you would like. Students should learn to read and spell words 1-12 before working on the Challenge Words. On the Spelling test, Challenge Words are NOT counted against your child if he/she misses one.

We will not be starting our reading textbook until the second full week of school, however, there are spelling words listed below that your child needs to learn for a Spelling test at the end of the first full week of school.
