Does anyone know if there is a general rule teachers have for the target percentage of spelling words that are misspelled on the pretest?
Is the goal to have most kids miss all the words? Or most kids to already know half or more?
DD6 in 3rd grade is getting 8 or 9 of 10 right on the pretests, which I think indicates that she should be getting harder words. But I wanted to check whether it is the normal for teachers to give easier words the first few months before I ask for a change.
