One of the things that I helped my teacher with as far as assessments go was I graded her spelling assessments. Most tests she handled grading herself as she preferred essay and short answer assessments but I always graded spelling.
Spelling went like this: on Mondays she would give them a homework sheet with all of the spelling words for that week. Each sheet would have the word and then space to write it out by syllables and to write it out three times. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays she would introduce 10 words. Students were expected to guess on how the word was spelled (pre-assessment) and then write it down when she had written it on the board. Then at the end of the spelling lesson the students would stand up and repeat the words back to her using syllable and reading pronunciation. On Thursdays the students would play games and review the words they had learned throughout the week. On Fridays they would turn in their homework and take the spelling assessments.
