More About This Resource
Teach Kindergarten students to spell with this Science of Reading-aligned weekly Word Study List. This resource includes a master list of weekly word study units and a systematic & explicit phonics scope and sequence.
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
Note: This resource ONLY includes a master word list for the teacher. Want more? Check out my yearlong word study BUNDLE for student printables, assessments & more: Kindergarten Word Study BUNDLE
