Word Study
At the beginning of the school year, students are given an assessment to find the group that they will be assigned for word study. The groups are based on student need. Students will be reassessed throughout the year to see if they need to move groups.
Also at the beginning of the year, students are given a high frequency word assessment. Words that students miss will go on their "words to learn" list, and they will become their high frequency words for weekly spelling lists.
Every 2 weeks, students are given 2 sets of word lists: one to keep at school to study, and one to bring home to study each night.
These spelling lists will be comprised of spelling patterns to help the student grow as a speller and reader. Students will be given 10 words that follow their pattern for the week, along with their 5 high frequency words. Students will be tested on these 15 words, plus 5 surprise "new pattern words" that follow the assigned pattern, for a total of 20 words per week.
During the week, students will do word study activities with me as well as individual activities that allow them to become familiar with their biweekly spelling pattern.
