The Spelling Tracking Chart is a student-friendly tool designed to help learners set, track, and reflect on their spelling goals across a 10-week period. This resource encourages self-monitoring and progress tracking, allowing students to document their weekly spelling goals and achievements. The chart is suitable for individual goal-setting, classroom spelling programs, and differentiated spelling instruction.
• Spelling Programs: Help students monitor their progress in spelling lists and word recognition.
• Homework Tracking: Assign as a home spelling log for parents and students to use together.
• Individual Goal-Setting: Encourage students to take ownership of their learning by setting weekly spelling targets.
