My DS is in year 1, and until now his spelling tests have followed a pattern of two "tricky words" (i.e. things like "you" or "little" and then the other words following a pattern, mean/bean/lean/clean, etc), and even then he won't get them all right (I think that's fine, though, it is Y1 after all, and it's more the practice of it, as long as he is getting more than 50% right, I am OK, although I would love him to get 100% one week, just to see his proud face! He was gutted just before Easter as he would have had his first 10/10 except that he swopped a "b" for a "d"...)
But anyway, I was flabbergasted when this week's test was going to be on the days of the week . We have practised, but Tuesday and Wednesday are pretty much definite no-hopers, and frankly if he comes home and only got Monday and Sunday right, but has made an attempt at the others, I will be happy.
Can anyone out there tell me if it is normal to expect them to spell the days of the week in Y1, even if it is the summer term?
