Disney Movies – Spelling Dictation

Skills to Learn This Week
As the movies are capitalized, this would be a good week to learn or review proper nouns. Also, it’s worth mentioning to your second graders how smaller words in the middle of a title are often lower case, like “and the” in “The Fox and the Hound.”
Making nouns plural would also be a good thing to review as both “Cars” and “Planes” have an “s” added to its singular form.
Also, as the movie “A Bug’s Life”, contains an apostrophe, it might be a good week to learn about the apostrophe.
Here is a youtube video I found that explains all about the apostrophe:
