![]() ![]() This is the first post in a four part series where I’ve shared my love of word study and the leveled Words Their Way word sort books that I’ve used in my classroom since 2013. This post was originally written in 2013, updated in 2017, and now up to date for 2022. ![]() ![]() Learn how I went from the Monday - Friday grind to a 7, 8, or 9 day cycle approach! □ Once I shifted from a Monday-Friday schedule to a rotation of 7, 8, or 9 day cycles of meaningful word study and spelling activities, I really started seeing my students enjoy word study, and instead of routines that fell apart when we missed days of the week, we THRIVED on a schedule that was flexible to the realities of teaching schedules that sometimes (often!) have to change. Are you looking for ways to improve your upper elementary word study or spelling routine this year? Or, are you just getting started with Words Their Way and looking for ways that other teachers plan and organize their word study block? Well, I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE because sharing all that I’ve learned over the years as my upper elementary word study routine has evolved just lights me up inside! Realizing that my word study routine DID NOT need to revolve around a Monday - Friday structure was one of the best discoveries I’ve made in my teaching career.
