Wow, my son is in 2nd grade and hasn't had the word thermometer yet. I actually really like what his teacher does this year. She teaches a spelling rule and has practice words, but my son doesn't have a list of words to study. He doesn't actually know what will be on the test that week, just that he needs to learn the spelling rule. The spelling test will have 10 words that follow that rule and then 2 words that they do know ahead of time that don't follow the rule. Its really improved his instinct on how to spell words.
