What is Word Study? • Word Study is about FINDING PATTERNS and
discovering RULES to apply to new words–Words Their Way: What and how to teach
word patterns for spelling and reading development (and how to assess it)

WTW: Organizing for Word Study• How are word sorts different than other phonics
programs?1. Hands-on manipulatives to learn by doing2. Work from known to unknown to help spell3. Analytic (whole > part) rather than synthetic (part >
whole) 4. Critical thinking about principles (compare/contrast)
rather than memorizing rules5. Efficient (more words) and cost effective (reusable
cards vs. worksheets with fewer words)6. Easier to differentiate instruction and adapt (just
combine different word groups and cards)

Three Main Types of Word Sorts
• Sound Sort > Visual Pattern Sort > Meaning Sort
Picture sort (early stages)
Word sort(see sound vs. spelling)
Blind sort sort by sound
without visual cues
1 2
Use keyword headings
(either picture or visual pattern)
Concept sort (themed words or
vocabulary
Spelling/meaning sort
(homophones; homographs;
affix/suffix sorts)
Correct sequence

So what did you discover today?
• The sound “air” can be spelled in two ways:– Air (air, stairs, fair)– Are (bare, care, rare)
In your centers today, you will practice sorting these again (first by sound and then by pattern).
This time, you will write (or glue – depending on level) each word into your journal.
