Every week Hannah has a spelling test at school. On Monday she comes home with two lists. The first list is comprised of that week's spelling words for everyone. They take a practice test for those words on Monday and if you pass that you get to do the second "advanced" list for the test on Friday. This is great in the fact that Hannah obviously has to know all the words in the first list AND the second list thereby expanding her vocabulary and spelling abilities. But you have to wonder about the poor kids who don't test out of the first list thereby not having to learn the second list of words. Do they never learn those words then? Aren't they being shortchanged a bit?
For example, the main list for this week includes the words germ, stage, cage, huge, large, and age. The second list includes the words pigeon, pageant, refrigerator, scavenger, and sausage. There is a huge difference as you can see.
