Word Sorts

Each day your child participates in a Fundations lesson. Fundations is our phonics/spelling program. Our whole group lessons include letter/sound review, sound dictation, word dictation and sentence dictation. In addition, proper letter formation is taught and encouraged. Each week your child is given a word sort. Children cut out their word cards, read each card and then sort them according to the spelling pattern being taught. Different groups of kids have different sorts based on student needs. The activities are the same for all, though. Each day students read the words and sort. Depending on the day, children may complete a Draw and Label activity or play a game with their words or read a passage similar words.

Here are some pictures of children working with their sort cards!
