Words Their Way
We are excited to share that the first graders are beginning our word study program called Words Their Way! The main benefit of the 'Words Their Way' program is that it supports differentiated word study instruction. This will allow each child to work at his/her appropriate instructional level. Students have already completed initial word study inventory assessments, providing us with information to help us make instructional decisions to best support each individual student. Every two weeks, students will be provided with a collection of word study words that are at their individual instructional level. Once students have worked with their specific word study pattern for two weeks, they will be assessed on the same word study patterns at the end of the second week.
'Words Their Way' focuses less on memorization and more on allowing students to work with their words during different word sort activities to give them the chance to explore and learn the different word study patterns. Word study work at home and at school will reflect this philosophy. Information explaining word study activities for practice at home for 'Words Their Way' is attached.
We are excited about having the opportunity to work with your child using the 'Words Their Way' word study program. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.
