Spelling Sort

This week I have introduced "Words Their Way" spelling to our class. This program teaches spelling patterns at each student's level. This week, the class is using the same sort as I teach the kids how to do it. Next week the class will be grouped into smaller groups with students who have the same spelling ability.

Sorting the words can be confusing at the beginning. Each Monday I will meet with the groups and teach them how to sort. If you ever have a question at home while doing homework, please email me and let me know.

This week the students are working on Long A and Short A vowel patterns. The "category" cards are the cards the students use to sort. Some will look like this: CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant)
Below is a picture of what the spelling sort for this week will look like.
