This is my third year of using Buddy Study Spelling. I used it two years in fourth grade and this year I am teaching 5th grade. I like the individualized spelling lists.

Yes, we use it to have the kids study the high frequency words (word wall words) that our district requires second graders to know. We use the other graded lists for differentiation and have the kids work with similar ability buddies. - Original Message - From: "SPINELLO, Carol" <[EMA

I am working with teachers interested in doing miscue and the book that seems to speak the most concisely to them is Ruthie Davenport's. It is procedure III and presented in very teacher friendly language. I find that teachers are a bit overwhelmed by the idea of recording and creating text scrip
