Please look at the Fundations Trick Words page for the trick words for each unit.
 
Spelling Homework
Fundations is a hands-on program. The trick words that need to be memorized will be sent home weekly and are listed on the trick words page. The trick words are on the weekly spelling test. Gone are the days of spelling lists where the children would memorize the words for the week. I can offer suggestions to practice the spelling words on the sheet weekly, but no homework is assigned. The purpose of Fundations is to have the students learn the rule to apply to their spelling in every day work; rather than testing their memory.
