    Word study is an approach to teaching sight words and spelling that does not involve memorization. It provides hands-on experiences that help students recognize word patterns. Teachers can implement word study by helping students identify patterns to remember words, and through activities like word sorting, creating word pattern lists, mixing and fixing letters to form words, building words with analogies, and word hunts.

    Word Study Professional Development

    What is Word study?  Word study is an approach to sight


    word and spelling instruction that
    does not include memorization.
    Word study provides students with
    unique hands-on experiences with
    words and word patterns that
    increase word recognition.

    How can I implement word study in my  Provide students with information


    classroom? about patterns that will help them
    remember specific words. For
    example: in the word “play”, the
    “ay” says “ā.”
    What are activities I can implement in my  Word sorting activities:
    classroom for word study? Students sort words by their
    digraphs, beginning, middle, or
    ending sounds, or spelling
    pattern.
     Word pattern lists- Students
    create lists of words that have
    the same pattern. For example,
    mat, pat, sat, rat, and bat all
    have the rhyme -at.
     Mix and Fix- Students create a
    word with magnetic letters,
    then scramble the letters and
    fix them back to make the
    original word. This is used in
    the Jan Richardson guided
    reading program.
     Word Analogy Building–
    Students can build words using
    magnetic letters and replace
    the letters around the word
    pattern. For example, using the
    word ending -ing and adding
    the letter “s” to make the word
    “sing,” then changing the first
    letter to make other words.
    They could also add base
    words, instead of letters to
    create words such as
    “jumping.” Analogy charts can
    also be used. An example of an
    activity with an analogy chart
    is to write the word “flap” in
    the left column of the analogy
    chart, then add the ending -ed
    to create the word “flapped” in
    the right column of the chart.
    Analogy charts are also used
    with the Jan Richardson guided
    reading program and are a
    beneficial tool.
     Word Hunts– Students look
    for words in texts, and
    highlight the word pattern, or
    write them down. Students can
    also go on word hunts
    throughout the classroom,
    school, or the playground.
