Think about the Word Study practices in your building. How do they align to chapter 1? en-us 2016-10-25 20:49:02 UTC 2017-05-17 06:44:59 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/sedgeworth/Wordstudysession1Room310/wish/136246157 My class is a mixture of Within Word Patterns and Syllable and Affixes. Throughout my building teachers are integrating sight word and roots, but I do not see word patterns being taught to increase spelling abilities. By continuing to increase our word study practices through the use of Words Their Way, we will build more fluent readers. ]]> 2016-11-08 21:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sedgeworth/Wordstudysession1Room310/wish/136246157 mindy_walsh https://padlet.com/sedgeworth/Wordstudysession1Room310/wish/139137977 My class is a mixture of Letter-name Alphabetic and Within Word Pattern. I think that the word study practices in my building vary. The lower grades do a great job of teaching word study and going through the progressions. Other teachers don't put as much emphasis on it. I think that many aren't sure how to go about teaching it the correct way. ]]> 2016-11-21 16:10:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sedgeworth/Wordstudysession1Room310/wish/139137977 https://padlet.com/sedgeworth/Wordstudysession1Room310/wish/140615373 My class is a high ELL population, so we focus a lot on letter sounds and sight words. All of the class is in the emergent and letter name-alphabetic stage of spelling. We're working on recognizing blends and approprate vowels. We also do a  lot of read alouds and repetition. Students also have word study journals that we work in regularly to keep them exposed to a lot of different word study practices.

Instruction is heavily focused on letter sounds, oral language skills, and basic vocabulary. ]]> 2016-11-29 20:18:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sedgeworth/Wordstudysession1Room310/wish/140654106
