As your children become better and better writers, the only thing I am noticing as a weakness is that a few students have a very hard time spelling even the most basic words. I am attaching a link to the Fry Word list. This is the 1,000 most frequently used words in our language. If your child struggles with spelling, please take some time to make sure they have mastered these words. Print the list and work on a few at a time. Every fifth grader should be able to spell these words. Thank you for your help with this! Their writing is really developing beautifully!
