Description
EVERYTHING YOU WILL NEED FOR A FULL YEAR OF 2ND GRADE WORD STUDY IS RIGHT HERE!
This spelling approach is referred to as “Word Study”, which is based on 30 years of research that has explored the developmental stages of word knowledge in children and adults (Henderson, 1990). This research has identified certain spelling errors that tend to occur in clusters and show students’ common confusions when learning new spelling patters.
This is a hands-on method, in which children sort specific words based upon similar spelling principles and learn to make spelling generalizations. Students get many opportunities to manipulate and practice their words in a variety of ways. For this reason, this approach seems to work better than the traditional “drill, practice, test” method. Students seem to retain the spelling of these words in a more effective manner.
The purpose of Word Study is as follows:
“To examine words in order to reveal consistencies within our written language system and to help students master recognition, spelling, and meanings of specific words.” (Words Their Way, 2008).
This is not a one-size fits all program that starts and ends in the same place for all students. The critical piece of this program is that it differentiates instruction for different levels of word knowledge.
I have created 30 weeks worth of 2nd grade spelling lists for three different levels of learners. The students level is determined by an initial spelling inventory. In addition to the 10 pattern words each week, there are 5 high frequency words.
**THIS PACKET CONTAINS: 30 DIFFERENTIATED SPELLING LISTS, 31 WORD SORTS, 30 SPELLING TESTS AND 10 DIFFERENT SPELLING HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS THAT CAN BE ALTERNATED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.**
See what the customers are saying:
“This is exactly what I needed. Next year, my school is 100% implementing Literacy First. One of the key components of Literacy First is differentiation, I LOVE that this has taken all of the guess work out of my spelling curriculum! Thank you SO much for such an awesome product!” thefreshapple
“One of my all time favorite purchases!” Melanie G.
“This is my "go-to" resource for all of my word study lessons and word lists. I really love the differentiation that is given with 3 levels of ability for each sound theme. Absolutely amazing!!!” Marianne H.
