Words Their Way
9/28/2019
Words Their Way is our differentiated, hands-on approach to word study. Throughout the week, students engage in different kinds of word sorts and games to understand and practice spelling patterns. The benefit to this approach is that students are learning patterns instead of memorizing isolated words. I wanted to share how some of these activities work in our class because they are also super simple to implement at home.
Blind Sort- With a partner, students write the spelling pattern categories at the top of a white board. Without the partner seeing the words, one person reads one of the spelling word cards. The partner tries to write the word in the correct category. It is similar to a practice test, except students are writing them into spelling pattern categories.
