Word Work, Volume 1
Word Work offers activity pages that allow the student to work repeatedly with the same set of words, gaining mastery through repetition. This volume contains 11 lessons, covering CVC words featuring short vowels a, e, and i, CVCC words ending in -nt, -st, and -nd, and 10 high-frequency sight words. This is intended to be Volume 1 in a series that will cover gradually more challenging concepts for the child who is learning to read. Find Volume 2 here.
Each lesson offers approximately 12 worksheets focusing on a particular set of words. This means that you might opt to spend 2 or 3 weeks on 1 lesson in the beginning. For some students, this book might take 1 school year to complete, while others may finish in 1 semester. Multiple worksheets that practice different skills (blending sounds, finding rhymes, building words, identifying meaning, reading in context, tracing) allow a child who needs repetition to build confidence. Each lesson culminates in an oral reading assessment as well as a written assessment that will allow both teacher and student to gain awareness of how thoroughly they have mastered the set of words and whether more practice is needed.
Who is This For?
This is targeted at the beginning reader who can benefit from working with words in order to achieve mastery and who is able to write letters. Some phonics resources completely avoid any handwriting—this resource intentionally does include some work with handwriting and spelling words in order to meet the needs of those students who master words more effectively when writing and spelling practice are integrated with reading practice.
Page Count: 157 pg.
Printing Instructions: For best results, open with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and print from that program. This document is designed for double-sided printing, and includes blank pages to account for pages that have cut-outs.
