Words Their Way – Explorations in Literacy
Since my first year teaching in 2012, we have used Words Their Way to teach spelling. If you aren’t familiar with the program, we start by giving students a spelling inventory. This assessment places them in a spelling stage, and we begin giving them word lists based on their level. We have really improved our practices over the years with the program. We used to give our students different word lists in our own classroom and give a traditional spelling test on their 20 words at the end of the week. After we give the assessment, we make spelling groups based on the students’ levels. On the first day of the week, students cut their words for the week into little cards. On Wednesdays, we play games with our word sorts. On Friday, we give the spelling test. We all give the same homework to avoid confusion about assignments. Monday- Word Sort Practice. Tuesday- Rainbow Words. Wednesday- 10 sentences. Thursday- Practice Test. Like this: Like Loading...
