I was just discussing with a retired teacher (my mother actually) whether there really is such a thing as “kindergarten spelling words“. I was showing her a nifty new online spelling activity that is in development and after showing it, she asked: “Is there really such a thing as spelling words in kindergarten?”
Of course, when I was growing up, probably not. But today, there are even lists of preschool spellilng words.
Are the expectations the same nationwide? Probably, although I’m not that sure…..
