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 Phonics Scope & Sequence
- Master Word List
- Assessments for Each Unit (includes, word dictation, sentence dictation and spelling error analysis)
- EDITABLE Assessment Templates
- Teacher Assessment Guide
Note: This resource only includes assessments and other items listed above. Want more than just assessments? Check out my yearlong word study BUNDLE for student printables & more: 3rd Grade Yearlong Word Study BUNDLE

This is just what I needed to differentiate my spelling work for students. I appreciate having this all done for the year—thank you!

Having such easy and visibly engaging pages makes the students want to work at mastering their phonics skills! Learning the phonics rule rather than memorizing was daunting for some at first, but getting to play with the activities and grow their abilities has been such an amazing thing as a teacher to watch.

Again, the above two reviews are so true! I work with students who are struggling with phonics skills and reading. But, third graders need to prepare for state assessments! They need to work so many random words!!! These words follow so many spelling rules!!!! It’s a great collection!

This resource makes prepping word work for the week easy! My students get the list of words on Monday, do word work stations all week and I then use the assessment piece on Friday to check understanding.

Great resource!

My students enjoy the test format for their weekly spelling tests. The extra practice given with the sentence with errors and drawing the picture to match the sentence is a nice addition to the “normal” spelling test.
