Clifford's Spelling Words

Clifford Words are our spelling words.  We have ten words to learn over two weeks.  The original word list is sent home as a sheet of flashcards. A number of follow up activities also come home that focus on the word list for that week which compliments the practice we do at school.  These lists are based on the top 100 high frequency words and generally require extra attention to learn how to read and write.  Feel free to save the flashcards or make your own to continue reviewing these words throughout the year, until your child is an expert at reading, writing and using the word (in meaningful sentences).
