What is that above? That is one of the ways we practice spelling. This is the book our 3rd graders use. They are asked to spell 25 words on the first day of a 4 day rotation. The following days include 25 new words each day, but most of the words are a form of that first word. For example, splatter changes to splatters, then to splattered, then to splattering. The students are not given the list ahead of time. If they spell a word incorrectly, it must be corrected immediately. This is a method called Sequential Spelling. Just think, 25 words a day for 180 days... now, that's a lot of words!
