Student Spelling Assessment
• Have students tear out Worksheet 5.1.
• Read the first spelling word, use it in a sentence, and then read the word
once more, allowing students time to write the word.
• Repeat this procedure with each of the remaining words.
Worksheet 5.1
• Direct students’ attention to the lines on the bottom of the worksheet. Tell
students to write the sentence “His dad smiled.” Slowly repeat this sentence
twice.
• At the end, reread each spelling word once more.
1. yelled
2. yanked
3. slumped
4. limped
5. plopped
6. smiled
7. shrugged
8. liked
9. patted
Tricky Word: you
• After all the words have been called out, tell students you will now show them
the correct spelling for each word so they may correct their own work.
• Say and write each word on the board, instructing students to correct their
work by crossing out any incorrect spelling, then copying and writing the
correct spelling next to it.
• Continue through all the words and then onto the sentence. Remind students
of the importance of correcting their work and learning from the mistakes.
