Purdy Homework Night continued for the third year. All students receive a homework assignment each Tuesday to be returned the next day. The homework is designed so the student can complete it without any parental help. Every student will be able to communicate effectively through writing, using a bank of high frequency words and spelling approximations, being accountable for words mastered and willing to take risks on those not yet learned. Each student was monitored with the Spelling Skills Continuum and the Essential Word List.
Students practice their words each day using a variety of multisensory activities.
Each student is tested individually. Words are learned for mastery and are reviewed throughout the year.
