Spelling and Vocabulary Skills Assessment

Mrs. Tidwell introduces a spelling activity called 'Show Me Spelling' for 4th graders. Students need paper and a writing tool, preferably a pen or marker, as they will not erase mistakes. The activity involves attempting to spell words, then correcting them by crossing out the entire incorrect word and writing the correct spelling. The focus is on learning through repetition and imprinting correct spellings. The words for this session all end in 'le', following the rule of final stable syllables. The session concludes with a reminder of this rule and a preview of future similar activities.
