Spelling Lists
At Endeavor Hall, we are beginning to use Words Their Way for spelling. This spelling program is designed to give lists to students depending on their own spelling needs.
Every week, on Thursday or Friday, students will have a test on their list that they have received for that week. If students pass, they move up to the next list. Students will get a hard copy of their list every week, and parents will be emailed a copy as well.
With CKLA, there are spelling lists that go with it. If need be, we may use the spelling lists from CKLA.
