Your child will receive 10 spelling words to practice each week. The first 5 words on the list will be the same for everyone. These are the Core words that each second grader is responsible for learning this year. The second half of the list is flexible and will be individualized for each child. Some children will practice words that follow a phonetic pattern that we are studying that week, others will receive previously tested words that still need to be learned, or there may be a combination of both. On Friday's test, your child will be expected to spell his or her 10 words correctly as well as 5 additional review words from the 1st grade list or previously tested 2nd grade words. The 5 core words for each week are posted below. Refer to this list to continue to practice past words as well as new weekly words. Thanks! Weekly Core Word Spelling Lists
