Store/Word Study

Product Details

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? Why not consider launching students' new word lists with an engaging fill-in-the-blank spelling words activity for 2nd and early 3rd grade spelling and word patterns? Each word list in this resource is appropriate for 2nd grade and early 3rd grade spellers and for differentiation and remediation in the upper grades and aligned to the Words Their Way Sorts for Within Word Pattern Spellers 3rd Edition. Please reach out if you need more information about the word lists included.

Unlock the List is a spelling activity that transforms your typical phonics or spelling word sort printable into a fun, challenging puzzle that increases students' engagement and enhances their spelling skills. With Unlock the List, students encounter their weekly or bi-weekly spelling word list with missing letters (vowels, word parts, beginning and ending consonants, blends, digraphs, 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, word parts, 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 have been introduced to the word list.

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.
