1.+Spelling+Lists

Your child was tested at the end of Term 3 on a standardised spelling test of 67 words, ranging from easy to difficult. Based on their score, you child has been grouped with other children that scored similarly on the test. Below are word lists for each group, taken from www.Studyladder.co.nz(Smartkiddies affiliated). Orange lists are easier, Blue lists are Year 4 targeted and Green to Black get progressively harder. Children who tested with a spelling age of 14 or more can find their spelling list HERE At the start of the week, pretest your child on the assigned list, prior to them learning any of the words. This is to establish which ones they don't yet know and will need to learn. They can then spend the week learning these, and be tested again at the end of the week, to see how much they have improved. However, should they correctly spell ALL the words in the assigned list, before learning them, then test them on the words of the list that is the next level of difficulty, for that week, only. They will then buddy test each other at school on Monday afternoons. // How to use // www.studyladder.co.nz: // Go to the website and log in using your smartkiddies username and password (keep these secret-you emailed them to yourself at the start of the year). // // Select Literacy, select your level colour and go to number 1 for week 1's words (number 2 for week 2's words and so on). // // Have fun learning your words with the activities. **Remember to have the sound ON as the words are read out for you!** // || chest first friend just kind last most sand spent || brick check checkers click deck neck peck stick thick trick || argue chart farm harsh marked whorl word work world worm || reassess reconsider redirect refresh reinvent repaint repeat rethink review reword || disappointed disapprove disbelief discontinue disobey inactive inadequate inaudible incorrect indifferent || less mess chess press class grass pass cross toss fuss buzz fuzz fuzzy muzzle puzzle fizz fizzy pizza jazz jazzy || attack black question quick quiet quite quiz smack stack track || birth burnt curve dirty hurting shirt squirt stir surfing turned || circuit curse dessert further nurse purse reserve reverse stir third || breeze fleas freezer leaves pleasing speaking speech squeeze teasing wheels || box here into ran saw this too tree would || another colour cow does fast gave head please soon under || anything apple dress garden grass ring show some these town || building built dreaming dreamt knowledge mistaken overcome sewn shining shone || accident courage disease doctor hospital injection medication protection surgery treatment || face fame game lace name pace race same trace || key kid kilt kiss monkey ski skill skin skip sky || bodies cherries countries daisies families ladies melodies parties replies stories || achieve belief briefly deceive field niece perceive receipt receive receiver || brief cashier conceited deceive diesel perceive piece priest receive receiver || thick thin think throw wheel when where whip white || about crown down found frown growl mouth round shower sprout || bread breeze bright broken brother frail freezing friend front frown || beautifully cheerfully gracefully handful hopefully hurtful mouthful tasteful thoughtful thoughtfully || delightful doubtful dreadful helpless priceless skillful successful thoughtless useless worthless || noon spoon soon boots book look cook hook took || screw grew drew new few clue blue true due glue || promise priceless profile privacy pretty drink dreadful drawing drift dryer || morning thorny torn corn horn lawn claws dawn scrawny prawns || display birthday anyway betray highway painting faint faithful entertain waiter || far got from may how many box bird car || present morning while should used bread clean happy love keep || morning seven chair help part birthday please you thought family || withstand wept thread thrive swollen strive spread bitten broadcast chosen || orchestra violin cello baton conductor musician musical performance cymbals percussion ||
