Spelling Test Sentences

As spelling tests start to go home I’d just like to provide some clarification on how I grade the three sentences on the bottom. These sentences are dictated orally and contain words students either already know how to spell or have learned the spelling/phonics patterns and should be able to decode them.

The students can earn one point for each of the following:
  • ·      Starting the sentence with a capital letter
  • ·      Ending with the correct punctuation
  • ·      All the words spelled correctly
  • ·      Proper spacing between words
  • ·      Handwriting


This allows for a total of 5 points per sentence.
