Ds has a spelling test every tuesday. They have a sheet of 24 words that they write every day. On friday it comes home and we talk about it, go over it, over the weekend. Then on tuesday he has the test.
But the last few words in the list, over the last few weeks, have been so hard that I think they are ridiculous. This week they start off with : car, poem, rhyme, rhthym, but wait for it, then then go onto :
alliteration
and this is the one
onomatopoeia.
I showed it to dh. He said, 'you've got to be kidding'. I said ' they are only 8. This is wrong.'
What do you think?
