Before I go and talk to the teacher could you tell me if you agree?
DS is in Y1. He has struggled with his reading but is pootling along and making slow but steady progress.
He is not a strong speller and gets 2 or 3 out of 10 in his tests. The school do not differentiate spelling lists within ability sets.
This week the spellings are:
scared, beard, near, chair, bear, pear, care, share.
He can't read them all. I don't want to work on them as I think so many different spelling patterns presented together will confuse him and actually be detrimental.
These are not spellings he has had before so not revision.
Should I just choose some different spellings to work on or is it something worth bringing up with the school?

I think this is a ridiculous list of spellings.
