Word Study
Spelling Patterns Matter! In our classroom we use the Words Their Way spelling program. Each week students are introduced to a spelling pattern and words that fit into that pattern. In class, we introduce the words and their sorts together. For homework, students are required to cut, sort and glue the words, as well as other activities to help practice. For the week, students are required to practice their words and the patterns for them. At the end of each week, students take a word study test.
