I mentioned a few weeks ago that some teachers and I have been feverishly working on a training for our district on Words Their Way. If you are unfamiliar, it is a spelling, phonics, and vocabulary program all rolled into one. The heart of the program is that new readers & writers look for patterns in words to read, make meaning, and later spell. We had our presentation/ training last week and it was great. The teachers in our district were very supportive (no heckling- yeah!) and asked some really great questions.
I have also been creating some making words activities (available on TPT) and games for my class, based on the program. Here is a FREE game for you in celebration of Manic Monday at Classroom Freebies. It uses the short u families. Enjoy!
You can find more freebies EVERY Monday! Start here to get started:
P.S. I need a little bloggy love (rough times in our room lately), so if you like this- let me know. Yes! I am desperate for your affection :) Sad, right?
