Word Study

Our word study started this week. Each week students will learn new words from the program Words Their Way. Words Their Way is a hands-on word sorting approach to word study for phonics and vocabulary.  The sort invites students to group words or pictures representing specific sounds into categories and guided by the teacher.  We will be studying multi-syllabic words beginning with consonant doubling, plural endings and basic prefixes and suffixes. Students will bring their word study books home with a list of the new words on Monday. There is a different activity to complete each night of the week. The homework is due on Friday.
