A child's very own book where they can record words with specific spelling patterns. Each page has two or three letter combinations & a corresponding picture at the top like: an (shows a fan), at (shows a cat), ai (shows rain), ip, ap, ell, ail, ck, ss, etc. with 7 lines below for kids to fill in words holding those combinations. As kids think of or see words with those letters they can add it to the respective list. With their own book that they are in charge of writing in, they are more likely to retain the information. The sounds might occur at the beginning, middle or at the end of a word; teaching kids to watch for spelling patterns will help them be better spellers, too. Purple cover, 7.5x9" 28pp. ~Sara
Publisher's Description of Word Study Notebook
Help students become better spellers by having them focus on the most common spelling patterns. Children will hunt for and record words that follow common spelling patterns such as ea, ai, igh, o-e, th, and ck. Over 50 spelling patterns are explored.
We always used steno notebooks for spelling when I was young, creating new columns when we'd get to the bottom of the page. This idea is better! Perfect for your long spelling lists.
