Click on the shape of your child’s group. On the outside of your child’s blue homework folder I have put the shape he or she is in for your convenience right next to their name. (please look at that so that you know what sort to do each day). Also, make sure you are asking for your child to look at their homework folder each night. Several children have been placing them back in their desks instead of taking them home each night.
WORD SORTS (please print your child’s word sort for the week)
Stars

Use the Word Sort for the following activities.
- Monday: Print, cut, and sort your words with an adult and explain this week’s rule. Sort each word under the correct guide word. Some guide words have a C or V combination on them – C stands for consonant and V stands for vowel.
- Tuesday: Speed Sort. Time your child three different times sorting their words and record each of the times in the lines provided above the grid. (Then have your child write their sort (using the grid on page 2 of the Homework Form). High frequency words written three times on the bottom in the lines provided.
- Wednesday: Blind Sort (Lay down the guide words and then read the rest of the words aloud without showing them to your child. Your child must indicate where the word goes without seeing it.) Rainbow write the high frequency words for the week on the lines provided.
- Thursday: Sort and glue (sort the words and glue them to the back of the Homework Form).
