In class, children were introduced to the concept of a sort and completed a basic word sort as a whole class. They received their individual word lists and practiced them during mini-lessons and individual work time. Each child sorted their words at least once independently and had their work checked by a teacher.
For homework tonight, we ask that parents support their children in re-sorting their words. Once the sort is complete, ask your child why they sorted the words in this way and what it tells them about spelling patterns. (Please see the homework section of our blog for more information, including the homework schedule.)
Have fun and please don't forget that the word cards must be placed back in the transparent zip bag in the envelope at the back of the Activity book.
To support your work at home, I have posted photos of what a completed sort looks like for each group.
