Words Their Way

• Program that works with patterns. Children learn
  spelling patterns they can apply to other words.
• Your child's spelling level has been assessed,
  and based on that assessment, I have put together
  words that are appropriate for your child to
  learn at this time. The students will bring home
  a collection of spelling words on a weekly basis
  that have been introduced at school. Each night
  of the week, your child is expected to do a
  different activity to ensure that these words and
  the spelling principles they represent are
  mastered. These activities will be modeled and
  practiced in school, so your child should not
  have a problem doing them.
• The set of words that comes home on Monday can
  stay at home, we have a set of words at school
  too.

25
Words Their Way

• What should be done at home each night?
• Monday- Have your child cut the words apart.
  Remind him/her to sort the words into categories
  like the ones in school. Ask him/her to explain
  why the words are sorted in a particular way.
  Ask your child to sort the words a second time as
  fast as possible.
• Tuesday- Do a no peeking sort with your child.
  Lay down the category headers and read the words
  aloud. Your child should indicate where each
  word goes without seeing it. Lay it down and let
  your child move it into the correct category is
  he/she was incorrect. Repeat if he/she makes
  more than one error.
• Wednesday- Assist your child in doing a word
  hunt, looking for words in an AR book or other
  familiar book that have a similar pattern as
  his/her spelling words. Your child can write
  down the words that were found.
• Thursday-. Do a speed sort. Your child should
  try to correctly sort their words as fast as they
  can. After doing a speed sort they should do a
  writing sort. Call out a word and have then
  spell the word under the correct heading.

• Thursday Do a speed and writing sort. Your
  child should sort their words as fast as they can
  without losing accuracy. You may want to time
  them and have them try to beat their time in
  subsequent sorts. After the speed sort, your
  child should write their spelling words on a
  piece of paper.
•  
•  Friday The students will be given an assessment
  based on ten words from their list. They will be
  given one point for spelling the word correctly
  and one point for putting the word under the
  correct header.
