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
- Assessments that include: word dictation, sentence dictation & spelling error analysis

This really helped my lower struggling students to focus and click in to spelling. I had tried a few other packets that worked for my grade level students but this one worked for those both above and below grade level!

This resource has saved me because I did not have a curriculum for spelling and our ELA curriculum doesn’t cover phonics and how to spell. I use a list per week to focus on and talk about the spelling patterns. It is great and I love using this.
