Weekly tests will be averaged for one major writing grade. The dictation sentences use the weekly spelling words, sight words, and past patterns to ensure mastery of spelling. The sentences are designed to help build working memory. They are graded for spelling accuracy, correct capitalization, and ending punctuation. Weekly dictation will be averaged for one daily writing grade.
