The problem all teachers face: independent work. How can we provide meaningful, independent practice for students without constant teacher supervision? 

The 102 spelling pattern worksheets will help your students master all common sound-spellings via independent practice. Of course, basic spelling skills are best taught in conjunction with a synthetic phonics program and advanced spelling patterns are best learned in the context of syllabication and morphology lessons. However, even with the best instruction, most students will not have mastered many of the spelling patterns in the program's Diagnostic Spelling Assessment.

The worksheets are designed for effective independent practice. Students read the FOCUS section and complete the SORT and JUMBLE sections. After self-correcting to learn from their own mistakes, students complete the RHYME (or SEARCH) and WRITE sections (the formative assessments). The teacher grades the formative assessments to determine mastery and records progress on the mastery matrix.

Now that is effective differentiated instruction. No open choice; no learning styles; no different instruction for different sub-groups.

Easy classroom management. Perfect for independent work during small groups, ideal for sub plans, a quick go-to for rainy days, nothing better for early finishers.
