Spelling Activities

Monday

• Sort the words into categories according to the patterns represented by the bold printed words on the list.
• Ask your child to explain why the words are sorted in a particular way.
• Have them show you the pattern the words have in common.
• Ask your child to sort the words a second time, and to do it as quickly as they can.

Tuesday

• Buddy Sort with your child.
• Lay down a word from each category as a header and then read the rest of the words aloud.
• Your child must indicate where the word goes without seeing it.
• Lay the word down and let your child move it if he or she is wrong.
• Repeat if your child makes more than one error.

Wednesday

• Word Hunt assists your child in looking for words in a familiar book that have the same sound, pattern, or both.
• Try to find two or three for each category.

Thursday

• Writing Sort is to prepare for Friday's test. As you call out the words in random order, your child should write them in categories.
• Call out any words your child misspells a second or even a third time.

Friday will be our test.
