Spelling Tips for Weekly Tests
 Before the test practice the words with a friend or family member.
  At test time, get a clean sheet of paper and a pencil.
  Pay attention as your teacher reads a word and uses it in a sentence.  Write only after listening to the whole sentence.
  Write the word.  Carefully form each letter so it is easy to read.
  Write the correct spelling of each word you misspelled when you get your paper back.
