Word Study
During Word Study the students work in small groups to study phonics, vocabulary and spelling patterns. Throughout the Lower School, we use Words Their Way: Word Study for Phonics, Vocabulary and Spelling Instruction, a hands-on word sorting approach to word study.
In fourth grade, we focus on spelling multi-syllable words, studying consonant doublings and plural endings and moving into pre-fixes and and suffixes. The students are placed in groups based on their understanding of phonics and application of spelling in their writing.
We also cover Grammar and Mechanics as part of our Word Study. Students can practice grammar with games, quizzes, and extra practice sheets by clicking here.
