Making Word Study Fun!

Understanding how to create, spell, and analyze words is a very important part in becoming a successful reader and writer.  Using the Words their Way curriculum, we do a variety of activities to get better at our word knowledge ranging from meaning sorts and activities to several strategies for better spelling of words.  Throughout the day, students have many opportunities to get better at using words and to become better spellers in general.  Below are some pictures from some of the activities students did today:

"Banana Grams" with Large Magnetic Letters

"Written Blind Sort"

"Scrabble" with Magnetic Letters
