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.
