James adores compound words! He loves the way they look I guess. He gets excited when he sees them and is more likely to want to spell them if they are on a spelling test. This week, James missed his pretest for spelling so I didn't know if he was on the regular list or the alternative list. His teacher told me to use the regular list so I did. When we did it at home, he got 100% so I decided to go to the harder, alternative list. I told him that there was a compound word on the list and he got excited. The compound word I meant was "sunlight" but James found anotherPOLELIGHT! I stand corrected... 2 compound words! By the way... this was the only word he got wrong on the harder list. Last grading period, James got a 2 for spelling which is below grade level. This time, he will definitely be at or above grade level for sure! Go James!!!!!
