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.
Included in this resource:
- A research-based, SoR-aligned Scope and Sequence
- Master Word Study List
- Word Study Teacher Guide
- Word cards
- 3 Practice Printables for Each Unit
- Assessments that include: word dictation, sentence dictation & spelling error analysis
- Editable templates for printables & assessments
- A Family Letter for Each Unit
- A Teacher Assessment Guide and Master Word List

I’m working on my sub plans for maternity leave beginning next year and this will be so easy for my sub to use! Thank you! The only issue I’ve had is that some of the words are too long for the space on the print/cursive hand writing practice page. Not a deal breaker at all for me, because this has saved me SO much time!

I have used this resource for about 6 months and absolutely love it. The words are challenging enough for all my students. What I really like about it is that it provides the words and these words can be changed to meet the needs of your students. Good addition to my spelling this year. Thank you!

I purchased this back in September (2018) and have been using it since. I really love it. Each week’s spelling words are planned out and saves me the hassle of creating weekly spelling lists. I really like how the creator made an editable template that allows me to type in the words of the week and automatically creates all of their spelling assignments for the weeks. Overall, a very well done product- possibly my favorite ever on this website. Thank you!
