We were just informed that a new reading program was being purchased for us.
Did we get to see it? No Did we get to preview it? No Is it
something we want? I don’t know.
So……….I’m asking……has anyone heard of the Mondo program? I think I have
that right. Has anyone used it in first grade?
Mondo is the publishing house for Tony Stead's Should There Be Zoo's? Find out
who the consultants are.

MONDO is led by a talented educator (primary)who started his own company.
Consultants who worked with MONDO, like Tony Stead, always maintained
connections to classrooms by spending time in urban classrooms each week,
working with teachers and students.

When I test my fifth grade students, I have them write the headings for the
sorts they have been practicing. Then I call out 15 words, making sure to get
about the same number of words for each feature. They are scored for spelling
and sorting, which is a total of 30 points. That means a missort

Thank you for the information. We are always looking to add to our

I also test my 2nd graders this way. They have 10 spelling sort words,
scored as follows:
+2 points: right sort column, right spelling
+1 point: right sort column, wrong spelling
+1 point: wrong sort column, right spelling
-1/2 point: reversed letters or inappropriate capital letters
I include 2 "c
Our system is very similar. 2 pts. correct spell and sort
1pt. correct spell wrong sort
0 pt spelled incorrectly.
I teach 3rd grade and if they turn their test book in and they are missing
one of the dictated words,
Basically I do the same thing as you, Bonita. I don't print on cardstock, the
kids seem to be just fine with regular paper. Each of my students put their
words in a zipper sandwich bag that the keep in a zippered puch in their
binder. They have a second zippered bag for previous weeks. At any ti
Hi everyone,
My administrator decided in the beginning of the year that it was okay for
us to forgo our purchased basal series (Open Court) and only use

I do it kind of like that with my firsties. Each word is worth 2 points: one
for spelling it right and one for putting it in the right category. So, that's
2 possible for each word I do give them 1 dictation sentence. Their score is a
percentage of the total.
