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.

- A research-based, SoR-aligned Scope and Sequence
- Master Word Study List
- Word Study Teacher Guide
- Word cards
- 3 Practice Printables for Each Unit

I am using this resource and loving it!! It has helped to focus my language program and I am noticing a difference in how my students approach reading words. There has be progress in their spelling and students are recognizing different spelling patterns that we have learned in words outside of their word lists. I highly recommend this resource.
