The Spalding Phonics Method is the approach the primary grades utilize in teaching reading, writing and spelling. Homework is taken home if the work is not finished in class, while tests will be administered weekly on Fridays. Cursive will also be practiced daily throughout the school year. Spelling words will be given weekly. Students are to study these words at home throughout the week, along with daily class practice. The assessment for the word list will take place every Friday.
