Word Sort of the Week

Oh.  My.  Gosh.

WORD SORTS.

They have added such a layer of independence, hands-on learning, and review to my Daily Five rotations!

We start each week with a "Word Sort of the Week".  This is one tied to our ELA learning for the week.

Last week, we were studying ir, er, ur and so our "Word Sort of the Week" was for those sounds.

On Monday, I introduced the sort and we worked through it together.  It stays hanging in the chart for the week, and we review it daily.  Students can also take the cards out and sort them again when they finish their "must dos" for Daily Five.

At the end of the week, it comes down and becomes one of the sorts students can access when their "must dos" are complete.

I love seeing them spread out around room, saying, sorting, and analyzing their work!

You can check out my GROWING BUNDLE of word sorts and matches on TpT.  Right now, it has over 40 different sorts and matches.  If you download the preview, you can get a short/long A sort for free!
