This resource is designed to provide ongoing word study (and spelling) instruction throughout the school year. It begins with CVC words in the Letter Name- Alphabetic stage of learning and moves through blends and digraphs with short vowels. These 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 complement 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.
