Product Details

Introducing Unlock the List, an innovative spelling activity that transforms your typical 1st or early 2nd grade phonics or spelling word sort printable into into a fun, challenging activity that's designed to ignite students' curiosity and enhance their spelling skills. The word lists in this activity cover beginning consonants, same vowel word families (CVC words), digraphs and blends, mixed vowel word families (CVC), short vowels, preconsonantal nasals, and an intro to r-controlled vowels and contractions.

This fill-in-the-blank spelling words activity is appropriate for 1st grade and early 2nd grade spellers and for differentiation and remediation in the upper grades. Each word list in this resource is aligned to the Words Their Way Sorts for Letter Name-Alphabetic Spellers 3rd Edition. Please reach out if you need more information about the word lists included.

⭐ What if your students approached each week's spelling word list with eagerness and anticipation, ready to dive into the word study focus and strengthen their spelling skills? They can when you implement this activity!

With Unlock the List, students encounter their weekly or bi-weekly spelling word list with missing letters (vowels, word parts, beginning sounds, etc.) and are challenged to "unlock the list" by filling in the blanks. It's a brain-filled exercise that will have them tapping into all of their prior knowledge of English letter patterns, vowel sounds, and spelling skills. Use this as an entry point into students' next word study list or as an activity they complete once they've done their word sorts and been introduced to the word list.

Unlock the List encourages students to employ their phonological and orthographic skills to crack the code. As students unlock words, they'll begin noticing connections among them, prompting them to analyze spelling patterns, vowel sounds, and word structures in order to uncover the word study focus of the word list. Filling in the Missing Letters is an activity that not only strengthens spelling abilities but also nurtures critical thinking and analytical skills.
