The biggest two takeaways were how to use mentor texts for students to use as inspirations/guides for their own writing, and how to teach sentence structure through inquiry.

What to do about unit vocabulary - larger numbers of words, many of them tier 3.  It's not possible to do such an in-depth exploration of, say, 20 or 30 words, but students do need a certain level of familiarity.  So far I've tried matching games, quizlets, I have/who has, quiz-quiz-trade, home language translation collections.  I would love a few more whole-class activites for those situations, or appropriate home activities that are also engaging]]> 2020-06-26 13:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/wordstudy/wish/641011759 https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/wordstudy/wish/641011873 Got: ]]> 2020-06-26 13:03:44 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/wordstudy/wish/641011873 https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/wordstudy/wish/641011960 Got: Being intentional and forward thinking with the vocabulary the children will encounter in the Anchor Charts and Mini-lessons and noting this at the start of the unit

A great compilation of online dictionaries. When you enter a word it brings up every online dictionary where that word appears.  It will have a quick summary of major definitions, usually links to the online etymology site. 

It often brings up a few really good learner's dictionaries that are great for elementary/middle school students and ELLs.

My favorite part is to search for a base with an asterisk before and after - you can sort the results by how common they are.

Think about the meaning of words, instead of sounds, to spell. Love this inquiry approach/guide (word investigation) to spelling and morphology. So impactful! 

WANTS: Over the last four sessions, we've been exploring a range of strategies for word study.

We alternate our focus on one reading unit followed by a writing unit. Over the last few years we have noticed common areas the students struggle with in terms of grammar and spelling rules but have not found a way to spend quality time addressing these issues and teaching the UOS with limited time across the week and in class. This is the area I need the most help with.

I think this is such an exciting way of teaching spelling. It honors the spirit of inquiry and truly builds a word-curious community.
