1. Tap 2. Use tool. Sort words into three categories. 3. Analyze the pattern - what do they have in common? NOTE - The spelling rules are: - words with a short vowel end with 'ck' - words with 2 vowels end with 'k' - words with one long vowel sound end with 'ke'
This sort has an added level of complexity as it asks the students to figure out the phonics pattern. For younger students you should give them the sorting categories. Note: One syllable words with short vowel end in -ck, one syllable words with long vowels end in -ke, double oo end in -k.
