SPELLING: List for Week of September 29th

**Important Note**
The third grade team is making some adjustments to our spelling list, from this point forward. For the first unit of our Reach for Reading program, we used the program's spelling lists (the first four weeks of spelling). As a grade level, we think some changes, including the specific patterns and the order in which they are focused on, will better meet the needs of our students. 

The spelling patterns that we will be using are based on the Orton Gillingham approach (or "OG"), and follow a specific sequence. We think this change will make more of a difference in students' everyday spelling. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

This week's patterns:
-ck, -dge, and -ed (sounding like "ed," "d," or "t")


Here is our list:

1. track
2. slick
3. stock
4. fleck
5. struck
6. badge
7. sludge
8. lodge
9. bridge
10. fudge
11. rented
12. planted
13. filled
14. spelled
15. tossed
16. asked
Watch Out Words
17. where
18. were
19. when
20. went
