Word Study
Word Study will focus on a different spelling pattern each week. At the beginning of the week, we will talk about the pattern and things we notice. At the beginning of the week, students will write down 8 words that belong with that week's pattern in their planner. These are not the only spelling words that the students will work with throughout the week, but it is highly recommended that you practice these 8 words with your student to encourage familiarity with the pattern. During the week your student will use multiple different sorts to work with many words following the pattern. At the end of the week, we will take our Word Study test. This is not a typical spelling test that involves memorizing certain words. This test will show me how well your student can recognize the week's pattern in a variety of words. This will help your child become more familiar with the many different spelling patterns we see in our language!
