Looking for a bit of advice and other experiences really.
My dd turned 5 in august, she is in Year 1. It is a mixed Yr 1/2 class as it is a small village school. From the second week of term, she has been given 10 spellings to learn every week. I have just found out that others in Yr 1 are being given 5 (easier) and i am struggling to get my head round her having 10. This week, the spellings include the following: Author, Phonics, Alphabet, Dolphin, Launch.
She is fairly bright but not exceptionally. In contrast, she is having to read every book in the ORT level before being moved up, so she is still on a fairly low level (although one of highest in the class) and she is capable of reading more complex books. The words in her reading book are far simpler than the spelling tests.
I wondered what other peoples experiences were of Yr 1 Spellings and whether I am being precious, or whether these sort of spellings are typical. Thanks.
