If it is incorrect, he erases and spells the word again under the correct column. After the child spells the word that has been read aloud, the person reading the word places it under the correct column, and the speller checks his spelling. To prep for this game, the head/key words are written across the top of a piece of paper. This is played very much like the Blind Sorting Game (see #3), but instead of simply pointing to the correct category, the child writes it down under the correct category. If the student’s answer is not correct, he moves it to the correct column. The teacher (mama or other student) then places the word under that category so the child can make sure his answer is correct. Without looking at the word, the child has to think about the pattern in the word and point to the category in which it belongs. The teacher (mama or another student) reads the words to the child. In a classroom setting, children can race against each other. This can be repeated and the child can attempt to beat her own time. Time continues until all of the words are sorted AND read correctly. Ask her to sort the words while you time her. The child can re-sort the words, but is timed as she does. He enjoys the coloring and it helps him focus on the visual patterns/chunks within the words. Sometimes ALuv (currently 7 years old) will circle or highlight the patterns in the words upon re-sorting. Ask the child to tell you the generalization from the sort.
Simply resorting words again is an easy way to review the word sort. Students may even think of a way to sort the words that wasn’t the intended pattern purpose for the sort and that works just fine. The child looks at the words and tries to notice patterns within the words, creating her own sorting rule(s). This means that all the words are placed in the space for the child to see, with the head patterns or words left out. When a child has word sorting down pat, sometimes it’s fun to introduce the words as an open sort. This means that the student knows from the beginning of the lesson what the categories are. Yesterday’s word sort introduction to a sort involved a closed sort. In it, Ann gives more daily routine ideas! 1. These ideas are adapted from Words Their Way, but be sure to check out the link at the end to Spelling Mechanics Homeschool Word Study.
The reason I like routine so much is that it helps to make the child work with more independence because he knows the “drill”. Today, my goal is to post some of the routines that you can do each day with the words from your word sort of the week.
