We always need to teach for transfer. Many students only learn the words for the test. I love how you are differentiating the lists for the students! :)Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14511344892381128298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704209166001504321.post-49347588609672104342011-12-19T17:29:52.309-06:002011-12-19T17:29:52.309-06:00I totally agree with your decision to change.

If not, the words go back on their lists. Oh, and I do individual lists for each child. The words come from their own writing. I think you'll be happy with the change. Good luck!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053983168084838303noreply@blogger.com
