I have been repeatedly shocked to see how much we are all absorbing during our "word workshop" time. Everyday we sit down with our whiteboards and stretch out words together. It has been making a HUGE difference in our reading, handwriting, and ability to sound out words! This "word work" is just one more tool in our tool belt that helps us tackle tricky words in our books and in our writing. We have been learning about blends, digraphs, and special vowel combinations to help us understand our complex language. If you are looking for ideas to do over the summer, this type of activity would be great!
