Word Study Homework Packet
Word Sort (Must be done first)
5th Grade Sentences
Sort the words into the categories we did in school. Copy your
sort down. Explain to a parent/guardian why the words are sorted
that particular way- what does the sort reveal about spelling in
general? Mix up the cards and repeat several times.
Pick 7 of your words from this word study list and use them to
write a 5th grade sentence. When reading the sentence, a peer
should be able to figure out the meaning of the word through the
use of context clues (making it a 5th grade sentence). Circle or
highlight your selected words within each sentence.
ex. – The rebels entered the castle through the breach in the
wall.
Not an ex. – The army made a big breech.
If I can spell…
Writing Sort
Choose two of your word study words from different categories
and write them in as the headings. Write four new words that you
can spell based on the spelling pattern of the word study word
chosen (cannot be from your list!). Complete the two sections.
Find the bolded words from your word study cards. Write these
in as the headings and use these key words as a clue on how to
categorize the remaining word cards (by spelling pattern, sound,
or meaning). Record your sort.
I have completed all my Word Study homework for this week.
