Third Grade Word Study
This spelling approach is referred to as “Word Study”, which is based on 30 years of research that has explored the developmental stages of word knowledge in children and adults (Henderson, 1990). This research has identified certain spelling errors that tend to occur in clusters and show students’ common confusions when learning new spelling patters.
This is a hands-on method, in which children sort specific words based upon similar spelling principles and learn to make spelling generalizations. Students get many opportunities to manipulate and practice their words in a variety of ways. For this reason, this approach seems to work better than the traditional “drill, practice, test” method. Students seem to retain the spelling of these words in a more effective manner.
The purpose of Word Study is as follows:
• “To examine words in order to reveal consistencies within our written language system and to help students master recognition, spelling, and meanings of specific words.” (Words Their Way, 2008).
• This is not a one-size fits all program that starts and ends in the same place for all students. The critical piece of this program is that it differentiates instruction for different levels of word knowledge.
I have created 29 weeks worth of 3rd grade spelling lists for three different levels of learners. The students level is determined by an initial spelling inventory. In addition to the 12 pattern words each week, there are 5 additional high frequency words.
You can use the entire packet or just elements of it however you would like, but the way that I use it is as follows:
On Monday I bring students to the carpet and do a quick mini lesson about the current week’s spelling pattern. I then put the spelling list on the overhead. Students copy their group’s words into their spelling notebook (this notebook remains at school and is used for in class word work such as word hunts.) Students do the word sorts either by cutting and gluing the words or by writing them in the space provided. For the word sort I have students sort all of the words, not just their own. The reason I do this is so students see that once they know a pattern they can apply it to any word within that pattern. I also want my lower groups to be exposed to higher-level vocabulary, even if they won’t be tested on how to spell those words.
I hope you find success in word study and that this packet is helpful to you and your students. Please contact me with suggestions or alternative ways you’ve used the materials! Thank you and happy teaching!

!Your word work homework tonight is to play the game Memory with
your spelling words. Please use the word slips that you brought
home yesterday. Cut the words apart and place them face down. Each player turns over two cards, if the cards follow the same
pattern (i.e. are both long A words made from the ay pattern) then it
is a match! If the cards don’t match, turn them back over and it is
the next player’s turn. The player with the most matches at the end
is the winner!!
