Word Work
"Word Work" is the topic that we use to teach about spelling rules and vocabulary. Each week we will be introduced to a new spelling pattern and doing a lot of different activities to learn how this pattern is used in many different words.
This year we're going to be learning some studying skills that will help us practice these words each week. The students will be bringing home their spelling list at the beginning of each week along with 1 targeted practice homework page. During the week they should practice their words at home and complete the homework page to turn in.
Here is our weekly routine:
Day 1: We learn about our target skill for week and do a pretest to see which list is a good fit for us.
Day 2 and 3: we will use games and activities in class to continue practicing our word patterns and learn vocabulary strategies.
Day 4: we will turn in our homework page and have our end of the week spelling test to see how we’ve improved.
Spelling and Vocabulary Word Skills Practice
We learn best when we enjoy what we're doing! When we're practicing spelling at home and at school, we use games and other activities to help us practice the spelling patterns and also increase our vocabulary by learning more about what these words mean!
