I'm still debating...
By TeachAbroad

Clip to ScrapBook   
I started off the year keeping a record of the misspelled words the students used in their writing. In other words, I kept a tally of all of the incorrect words of each student. After going through the tally, I would take the most frequently misspelled words for each child and that would be their spelling words for the week.

Not sure if this was a good idea, but towards the middle of the year I switched to studying different patterns and gave a test based on the patterns.

But, like you, I am still struggling with the whole spelling words concept!!
