Word Study Centre Activities
The Literacy Centres should include built in activities and procedures that will make our job easier when switching up the weekly tasks to be completed. Word Sort is a great activity that you can differentiate for your students and easily switch up each week. After a spelling assessment provide word lists for your students each Monday that they will use all week at the word study centre. Pass out the lists on Monday, students cut them up and work at a blind sort to discover the spelling patterns. They place their words in a baggie that is stapled to their Literacy Centre Folders, and each day complete a different set of activities with their words. On Friday they finish by pasting their words in the correct spelling patterns into their Word Study Books. Grab your copy of word lists and Word Sort Activity cards for your Word Study Centre HERE. My word lists are geared towards students in grades 2 to 4.

This looks great, Tracy!! Do all of your students get the same words each week? Do you test them on the words? Just wondering... I would love to see how you set up your word study book.

ReplyDeleteHi Wendie,
DeleteI give each students their lists according to their individual needs on Mondays. They cut the list up and do a blind sort. Then they work on that list for the week at the word study centre. On the last day they glue the lists into their word study notebooks according to the different spelling patterns. I don't do spelling tests. I will take some pics of their word study books and post them here! :)
