Spelling Inventory Feature Guide Spreadsheet
The interesting thing about the WTW assessment is that it’s as focused on mistakes as it is words spelled correctly. For example, a child that spells goat “gote” obviously can’t spell the word goat.
But what the error tells you is that he understands that something has to happ en to a vowel to make it long. In this case, the speller knows that silent e often plays a role. So this student is probably going to be in the middle of the Within Word Pattern stage and ready to practice long vowel patterns like ai, oa, ue, etc. Hi there – I am experimenting with Words their Way this year with my first graders. I have done the assessments and have the sort books.
Assessment: Placement and Grouping. To begin a spelling inventory. And Spelling Instruction. The feature guide helps analyze and classify student errors.
I have also spent hours reading and researching the best way to implement the actual word study portion. I am wondering how to determine which sort to begin with for each group. For example, if a student is middle LNA stage – what sorts do I begin with? Are there suggestions or do I just use my judgement? Thanks for all your information.
