6. Use knowledge of roots, prefixes, suffixes, and English spelling patterns to spell words correctly in writing. Station 1 – Spelling City: Have the students go to [|www.spellingcity.com] and type in their word list. They should complete 2-3 activities in the spelling and vocabulary games. Station 2 – Sign Language: Have the students work in pairs and use the sign language alphabet poster. One student chooses a word and signs it, and their partner needs to write it on their communicator. They need to then use the word in a sentence. Station 3 – Word Hunt: Have the students look through books, magazines, newspapers, and the internet (designated websites only) for words that follow the rule for the week’s sort. They should compile a list of the new words in their word study notebooks. One on One – iPad: Meet with individual students and have them write the dictated spelling word on the Whiteboard app. Then have them use the word in a sentence and record it with the Dragon Dictation app and play it back for them.
