WORD STUDY HOMEWORK

Monday: Introduce and sort new words
Homework: Students cut out the words and sort (and say) three times. Store in
a plastic bag and use them again each night this week.
Tuesday: Blind Sort
Homework: Your child will sort the words again like yesterday. Then place the
category words (underlined words) on the table. You will then scramble the words
and call them out one at a time. Your child will point to the category in which the
word belongs. Hand the word to your child to place in that column. Check the
sort.
Wednesday: Speed Sort
Homework: Place the category words (underlined words) on the table. Scramble
the rest of the words. Time your child as he/she sorts the words. Check the sort
and add one second for each incorrectly sorted word. *Rescramble the words,
leaving the same headings (category words) on the table out. Time your child a
second time. Your child should try to beat his/her first time.
Thursday: Writing Sort
Homework: Call out the words one at a time as your child writes the words in
categories on paper under the correct category words (underlined words). Your
child should not be able to see the words before writing them. This will help
prepare for Fridays spelling test. (If needed, write words three times each.)

Friday: Students will be assessed on the week's words. Transfer words

(words with similar spelling patterns) will be included on the assessments.
Students will also write 3 sentences using their Word Study words for a
mechanics grade.
