4th Grade Differentiated Spelling Lists - Year Long Unit
You are looking at the spelling program I made for my 4th grade class. There are 33 weeks of differentiated spelling lists based on phonics patterns and high frequency words. Each list has 10 words that align with a phonics rule, and 6 high frequency words. The first 3 weeks of the year I only use one list, List B. Once I have determined my students abilities, beginning in week 4, there is a List A for my struggling spellers, and a List C for my faster learners. Each list focuses on the same pho

Using A Dictionary - A Dictionary Scavenger Hunt
Students don't use the dictionary as often as they should. Part of the reason, I believe, is because they don't know how and they don't really know what's in there. I use this activity to force students to get into the dictionary and find out all that it has to offer. It's also a great activity to meet CCSS L.4.4.c or L.5.4.c.
I start the activity with some basic instruction about guide words, pronunciation guides, and what is meant by parts of speech. I then provide students with a dictio

Words Their Way-39 Word Hunts:(Within Word Spelling Patterns)
This is a resource that will help support any phonics program, but follows the sequence for the Within Words Spelling Pattern book in Words Their Way. We began using the program years ago, and the kids had a hard time finding the spelling patterns in text. I began writing stories to go along with the sorts, and created a format which worked well for our students. These 39 stories range from: long and short vowel patterns, to less common vowel patterns, to r-influenced vowel patterns, to dipthong
