Word Work
Students use the Words Their Way series to study spelling. Every two weeks, we learn a new spelling pattern. We start by sorting the words into categories based on spelling patterns. We also have lessons on the spelling rules of the words we are studying, practice using the words in our writing, and sometimes play games, such as Sparkle, with the words.
I do not give spelling tests, as there is no research-based evidence that memorizing lists of words for quizzes improves students' spelling.
For the month of October, students will:
-(Words Their Way- D) Sorts 19--21
-Be introduced to Open, Closed, and Blind Sorts of words.
-Review Open and Closed Syllables, and Long and Short Vowel Sounds.
