Your children might have been talking to you about a new spelling program St Clare of Assisi, introduced this week called Spelling Mastery.

Spelling Mastery is a spelling program designed to support students not only with their spelling, but with phonics knowledge. This program, as the name suggests, is a ‘mastery’ program. This means that we would expect that all students should be getting between 80-100% of them correct before moving on to the next concept. In most instances students are getting 100% or very close to 100% in each of their tests. This means that some students may come home saying that the program is too easy. Each child was placed in their group after completing a placement test either late last term, or the beginning of this term for those who were new to the school. Teachers will continue to monitor student’s progress. If you do have concerns regarding your child’s placement speak to your child’s teacher.
