Word Study

"Word Study" approach to spelling and mastering high frequency words.
(mm:ss)

Word study is taught separately from writers workshop. I spent twenty minutes daily on teaching word study. The dry erase whiteboards have been a useful tool that I use to help teach various skills. They are easy to clean, with zero prep work involved. I always make sure that I teach my students how to correctly use the whiteboards, dry erase pens, and erasers.  Word study encompasses many different things. Some things that are taught during word study time include: high frequency words, grammar, and punctuation.
