Word Study is an alternative to traditional spelling instruction. It is based on learning word patterns rather than just memorizing words.
Today is the official start of Word Study. Each student was placed in a word study group based on his or her spelling needs. A copy of the word study words should be in your son or daughter's homework folder today and another copy will stay at school. Students will work with the words for two weeks. The first word study assessment will be on Friday, September 30th.
Each day during Reader's Workshop, students will complete one word work activity. Here are a list of activities the students will do each day.
Week 1
Monday: Introduce Words and Sentences
Tuesday: Pictures
Wednesday: Rainbow Write
Thursday: Dictionary
Friday: ABC Order
Week 2
Monday: Spelling Stairs
Tuesday: Write Words 3 Times
Wednesday: Vowel Hunt
