(S=P=E=L=L=I=N=G)

This unit was designed to supplement the McGraw-Hill Wonders spelling program for 2nd Grade. The Wonders curriculum provides fifteen weekly "on level" spelling words. Ten words follow a common pattern, two words are review, and three words are sight words. Rather than focusing only on memorization of spelling words, this unit requires students to:

1) Spell five word list words from memory 2) Use the weekly spelling pattern to spell two unknown pattern words 3) Spell three sight words 4) Find the correct spelling of three weekly words 5) Correct the spelling of two weekly words in context

2nd Grade Spelling

Word cards for sorting are provided with each week. The shaded grey

cards are the "headers" that students will use as the focus of the sort. Each week has several blank cards that can

be used to help students brainstorm additional words that follow the

weekly pattern. Two identical sorts are included on each page to save paper. Alternatively, you can also provide each student with two sorts-one for school and one for home.

Each week includes a Spelling List that can be sent home for practice. Extra space has been included by each word to allow students to practice writing the words

themselves. This is a great way to incorporate weekly handwriting practice.

2nd Grade Spelling

A convenient spot to write the student's grade using your own grading scale.

Five Word List words come directly from the words students have studied.

Each test includes the focus of the week.

Two Pattern Words follow the weekly pattern, but are not provided to students

prior to the test. This assesses each student's ability to transfer the weekly

pattern to unknown words.

Three Sight Words are assessed weekly.

Students search for misspelled words in context, which is a practical way for them to

combine spelling and writing skills.

Circling the correct word allows students to work on their word recognition AND

spelling skills.

Monday:

Tuesday:

Thursday:

Morning Work: Students cut out word cards and place in baggie. {Have students save blank cards for tomorrow}.

Morning Work: Students practice sorting

their word cards independently at their desks. Students have a classmate check their sort

when completed.

Word Study: Introduce the weekly pattern to students and

have them practice reading and sorting the words cards by pattern.

Word Study: Ask students to brainstorm

additional words that follow the weekly pattern. Choose a few words as a class to write on the blank

word cards students saved yesterday and add

them to the sort.

Homework: Pass out the Spelling List to students. Have students

rewrite each word. Students take this list home

to study throughout the week. Additionally, you can send home word cards for

sorting practice.

Wednesday:

Morning Work: Students complete a "no

peeking" sort with a classmate. Student A places

the headers at the top of his desk. Then, he mixes up

the word cards. Without showing the card to Student B, he reads the word aloud. Student B then points to the correct header in which the word belongs and spells the word out loud. The process is followed for the remaining

words. Then, students switch roles.

Morning Work: Students use their word study notebook and word cards to copy each word under the correct header. Students compare their lists with a classmate to

check for accuracy. Friday:

Assessment: Pass out a Spelling Test paper to each student.

The words on each test can be found on the unit outline. Read #1-13 out loud. Students can complete

#14-15 independently.
