Students receive a list of new words to practice spelling each Tuesday. If you’re absent from the lesson where you get the words, you should still practise them. All the new words can be found on Peda.net. 

The spelling challenge is on the following week's Monday. The spelling challenge consists of five new words and five words that are either old or fully decodable (for example “a boat”). The idea with old words is to encourage the students to try to remember the spelling of the words long-term and not just for the challenge.

If you’re absent you can do the week’s spelling challenge on the following week.
