These word hunts and close passages support the Words Their Way program by Pearson. The teachers in my building were always looking for ways to extend their lessons with a quick and easy way to see if children were getting the spelling patterns.

We are working on a writing focus at our elementary school, so quick writes have become more popular. I created this document to be used in all subject areas, but yet conserve paper.

Word Hunts are a important piece to the Words Their Way spelling program, but they are not provided as part of the Curriculum.
