This resource is designed to provide ongoing word study (and spelling) instruction throughout the school year. It begins with r controlled vowels in the middle Within Word stage and moves through diphthongs and ambiguous vowels in the late Within Word stage. hese lessons will provide a stable foundation for your students while saving your time and sanity when it comes to planning your word study for the year! 

The word work activities within this product nicely compliment the Words Their Way™ program developed by Donald R. Bear, Marcia Invernizzi, Shane Templeton, and Francine Johnston (4th edition). Which lesson you begin with and the length of study for each pattern must be determined by your students’ needs. Spelling inventories for initial assessment can be found in Words Their Way™. I have found this book to be an extremely valuable resource. Please see the Preview above for a more detailed look at what these word work activities include!
