= = Welcome to Our Third Grade....  Word Study Wikispace Workspace! As educators we continue to build on our experiences--learning about new curriculum, assessments, instructional methods, and resources. This is a place for me to share what I've pulled together from the wealth of resources out there--as well as to share the resources I've created in order to run a smooth word study program in my third grade classroom. Please feel free to share the resources--games, materials, assessments that you've used in creating your word study program by adding and uploading to our pages!

Here is an article I just read about Word Study to reinforce why we teach it in a balanced literacy environment! [|Word Study Makes A Difference] Word's Their Way Real Spelling Real Spelling Workshop Peter Bowers Max Brand || Words Their Way Screening Tests High Frequency Words Tests

For each unit there is a list of 40 words. 10 for the pretest-- email/ ask if you'd like that list. If they spell 9 or more correctly on the pretest. Then they have the challenge list. (See Homework) There are also 10 new pattern words on the final test. I do not want to share those on the web...but am willing to share a copy with my colleagues/ or other interested teachers who send a personal request.



On the Review Words to Learn Test Template is given at the end of a series of final test (i.e. long vowels) with the words that were recorded on their "Words to Learn" list.
