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.  \nOn 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) .  \nThe question at the end of the written sort! This is an important step with word sorts!  \nWhile sorting, discuss the patterns that the words in the same column share. For example, the words in the short a column only have one vowel (a), while the words in columns two (ai) have a vowel combination that makes the long a sound.  \nWhile 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 a in it and is surrounded by consonants (CVC), it makes the short a sound. In general, a word that has a vowel combination of ai makes the long a sound.  \nBy 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!  \nNote that there are two oddballs: was and said.  \nBOB Books: Set 5, Book 5 ( The Train)  \nCreated [by Becky @](by Becky @ www.thisreadingmama.com)[ ](by Becky @ www.thisreadingmama.com)[www.thisreadingmama.com](by Becky @ www.thisreadingmama.com)  \n©2014 All Rights Reserved.  \nShort a/Long a Word Sort  \nDirections: Cut apart the short a and long a trains and use as headers.
