Words Their Way Instructions

Words Their Way 

Every time you get a new set of words, this is what you need to do: 

• 1. GET your words and do your WRITE & SORT!  

• Do not glue them in! 
• Get them checked by Mrs. Jessie 

• Highlight the word patterns (if there is a pattern – ask if you aren’t sure): 
• Example: CVVC  Boat   or –eg patterns: beg, leg 

• 2. Write your words in complete sentences. If you do not know what the words mean – look in the dictionary! 
• 3. Put your words in ALPHABETIC ORDER – Ant, Antelope, Artist, Balloon, Beluga, Cotton 
• 4. Rainbow Write: Ant, Antelope - Write your words using colors - Remember a rainbow goes Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue - Indigo

• 5. Fancy Words: Ant, Antelope, Artist, Balloon - write your words in fancy handwriting, bubble letters, boxes, etc.
• 6. Word Search: Go into your file and find the word search. Cut it out and glue into your Daily 5 book when you are done. (Mrs. Jessie will post if we end up missing more school).  
• 7. NOW YOU CAN CUT OUT YOUR WORDS! 
• 8. Speed Sort – Use the iPad to race yourself, 3 times!  
• 9. Blind Sort/Partner Sort – Have somebody say the words to you, and you point to the right category.
