Spelling: Word Study

During word study sessions, students will be inquiring into the relationship between sounds and their letter patterns. In the word study students collect words with a particular sound, sort the words into groups that will make sense, analyse the data for patterns that will help them with their spelling,and learn how to apply this knowledge when attempting to spell unknown words. Students are also learning about the inquiry process as well as building their understanding of the graphophonic system. Segmenting words into their sound parts will also be a strong focus during spelling investigations.
