Word Work
This is our first week doing word study. Daily activities and procedures are being practiced and will quickly become routine. Students will start bringing their folders home every Thursday to prepare for the test. I recommend they choose one activity from the list below to do at home tonight. In their folders you will notice some blank, lined paper. This is the style of paper I will use on the test. It comes from the Handwriting Without Tears program that we use. I’ve found that the double lines really help students with proper sizing of letters. You will notice an example of how to use the lines in their folder today.
Choose one of the following activities
- Visit Spelling City or get the free app — (The app works best!)
- No login required. Search for teacher and enter Lisa Barnhart to access the weekly lists. They did this at school today on their iPad.
- Do a speed sort
- Do a blind buddy writing sort.
Happy Sorting!

Awesome practice for finding word patterns. The video really helped me know how you wanted the students to do it.
Got it! Thanks! 🙂
