______________’s
Word Study
You need to have a total of 40 points worth of activities completed and turned in on Friday. You
have all week to do this, so use your homework time wisely. For example, you may want to do 10
points each night on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings, or if you know that
you’re busy on Wednesday night, you may want to do 20 points on Monday, 10 on Tuesday, and 10
on Thursday so that you won’t have to do any Word Study homework on Wednesday evening.
Staple each assignment to this Word Study homework, and be sure to write the activity name
and point value at the top of each assignment. Try not to waste paper and write on the
backs!

 Unless noted, all words must be used in each activity. The story is the only activity that doesn’t
require all words.
 Circle your choices on your menu.
 Write the point value and activity on top of each activity.
 You may complete more activities (than the required 40 points) for extra credit in Language Arts.
 Each activity should be done neatly and will be scored accordingly. If it is not your best work,
you will not receive full credit.
 Word Study is due on Friday of that week, but may be turned in earlier.
 Spelling tests will be on Fridays.
