Commonly Misspelled Words

- to be updated tomorrow - 

On this past weeks test - I was amazed that our students did so much better on the New Pattern Words, as opposed to the words that they knew, were expecting, and were allowed to study.  As a teacher, this confuses me!  

We talked about this unit being especially tricky because you need to study the words and patterns to know which form of "long a" you're going to use.  Please, please find the time to study these words this week!
