Does anybody remember that far back? When you were in school and did spelling, how many new words did you have to learn at a time and how often did you get new ones to learn?

I was thinking about this a while back because my neighbor gets a new set of 10 words every week, but when I was in school we did 20 new words a day, so I really can't see why you'd need over 300% of the time for 50% of the words.

Oh Gawd. I remember having those weekly spelling tests, but I forget now how many of those vocabulary words we had to memorize.

i think we learned, 15-20 new words a week.

Ours was ten. My son's are now 20.

I think it was like 20. I was always a very good speller, so it was one of my favorite subjects.

I'm guessing between ten and twenty.
