Words Their Way

This week we also started using a program called Words Their Way. It is a spelling program focused on sorting words and pictures. The kids come in and cut up their sorts on Monday morning, and then during Work Board throughout the week they sort the words based and glue them in a notebook. The program starts out with beginning letter sounds and they sort pictures. Then it moves into same vowel word families, then digraphs and blends, and beyond! After a short spelling "show me what you know" with the kids I was able to pick which sort would be appropriate for them to start on based on what they already know and what they need to learn! The kids are excited about it!
