Spelling Test Audio Week 29

Listening practice is especially important for March 8′s spelling test, so here is an audio file of Ms. Yokotake pronouncing each word. Have your child listen to the entire recording several times without writing anything at first, then have her/him listen and write. It is best to stop the recording after each word for 20-30 seconds to allow your child time to write.

2. しっち             shicchi                 wetlands
3. しっぽ             shippo                 tail
