In Reading and Spelling this week, we have been working on the short i sound. Tuesday we sorted words according to the word families they are in. We will do lots of word sorts this year. Word sorts help students notice patterns in words, they help them to decode words and to spell words. Word sorts are a powerful tool that help first graders in many ways. At home you can have your child sort their spelling words. Allow them to decide what the groups will be. This forces them to notice things about the ways that words are spelled. Her is an example of the word sort we did on Tuesday.
