©2014 All Rights Reserved. | Written Sort and Generalization Extra Helps Please note that this sort (pg. 3) could be re-sorted every day while reading the text that accompanies it. On day 1, the parent or teacher may take more responsibility to show the child how to sort the words and on subsequent days, the child takes more responsibility to sort it on her own. On one of the days that the child has cut apart and sorted the words by their pattern, ask her to copy the sort by writing each word into the Written Sort chart (pg. 4) . The question at the end of the written sort! This is an important step with word sorts! While sorting, discuss the patterns that the words in the same column share. For example, the words in the short e column only have one vowel (e), the words in column two (ee) all have the e combination. While word study doesn’t hinge on rules (because these are so easily“broken”), it does rely on generalizations. Generally speaking, a child can see that when a word has only one e in it and is surrounded by consonants (CVC), it makes the short e sound. In general, words with the ee combination, make the long e sound. By asking your child to answer this question, you are helping him to make some generalizations about how word patterns work. And, she can use these same generalizations for other words in his reading and writing! Note: The “oddball” word in this sort is actually not an oddball at all. It is governed by the ew pattern, that makes the long u sound. But for the purposes of this sort, it is called an oddball.

FAQs

What is the main skill this printable pack practices for Bud’s Nap?

It practices long vowel patterns with a focus on short e vs long e (ee), using sorting and word-pattern generalizations.

How should a parent or teacher use the Word Sort over multiple days?

Day 1 involves more adult guidance showing how to sort, and later days shift responsibility so the child sorts the words on her own.

What materials and steps are used for the Word Hunt activity?

Read the sentences, then find and circle the words with the long e pattern of ee using any color. Students may also dot, underline, or highlight the words.
