Updated 8/23: Mini units added for suffix word endings (-s, -ing, ed), soft c & soft g, suffix -er & -est, plural change y to ies, prefixes & other suffixes.
Word study units are different from traditional spelling units. Instead of giving students a list of words to memorize each week, these word study units focus on a specific phonics skill. Students are given explicit instruction on the phonics pattern and then have activities throughout the week that allow them to practice the phonics skill, and investigate and discover the patterns in words.

Thank you so much! I am a retired teacher returning to teach one second-grade English class. It has been a while since I was in a classroom. I am thrilled to have this super organized resource.

Recommend for anyone jumping into SoR. The activities are easy to explain and the students enjoy the activities.
