I think it is more meaningful when students are actually aware of the meanings of words. In doing so, they take ownership of the words.

I started with two lists, but their different needs required me to create three lists.<br /><br />My school implements RTI and we are going to incorporate spelling into our groups! We are still going to pretest but we anticipate each class will only use 2 of the lists. (I doubt my group--the high--will need the easiest spelling list.)<br /><br />I recently just blogged about my word study and have a homework cover sheet freebie.<br /><br /><a href="http://gr3istheplace4me.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Grade Three is the Place for Me</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12240085355566012209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2562766683834114736.post-81516633030137190472012-07-16T13:58:30.566-05:002012-07-16T13:58:30.566-05:00I started using this last year.
