Word Wall Words
Each week your child will be introduced to new sight words. I call them popcorn words because they “POP UP” a lot when we read.  Willard has moved away from traditional spelling tests.  However, it is VERY important that you review these words with your child each week.  Even though they will not be tested on these words, please have your child practice reading, writing, and spelling them.  How well your child knows these words will be reflected on their grade card each quarter.
