Word sorts are a way we learn about our written language by sorting words into different categories, such as spelling and sound patterns. Every week we work on a new word sort. The sorts below can be printed and cut apart or you can make your own cards on any paper you have at home!
Here is a link (http://educationextras.com/WithinWordPatternSorts.html ) where you can access many different sorts.
These sorts work through PowerPoint.
How can you help your child with their Words Their Way Activities-
Spelling Conversation- Talk to an adult using each word in your conversation.
Ask- "How did you sort them? Why did you sort them that way? "
This helps your child understand and remember patterns.
Rhyming Words- Make a list of rhyming words for each of your words.
Original Story- Write your own creative story using 10-12 of your words.
Word Processing- Use the computer to type your spelling words in their original categories. You can make it fun by using different fonts, colors and sizes. Glue into your journal.
