SLES will be implementing school-wide the researched based phonics, spelling & vocabulary program called “Words
Their Way”.
• Phonics, Spelling, and Vocabulary instruction through daily word study.
• Differentiated instruction targeted to students' appropriate instructional/developmental level
• Spelling stage (stage of spelling development) assessed using initial spelling inventory
• Flexible spelling groups
• Focus is on learning and understanding spelling patterns not on rote memorization of word list
• Word work in class and at home will include word sorts (word sorts engage students in the process of searching, comparing, contrasting, and analyzing & help students organize what they know about words and form generalizations that they can apply when encountering unfamiliar vocabulary when reading)
3 Types of Writing in Curriculum 2.0
Narrative
