In
my class, students and parents know that students will take the
weekly spelling test on Thursdays (not a traditional Friday.)
If students score perfectly on Thursday, then they do not have
to take it again on Friday. I re-give the test on Friday, thus
motivating a majority of my students to take a 2nd chance of earning
a better score than the day before. My kids really like taking
the challenge and I've seen their test scores improve dramatically!
