Resource Parent Information Night 9.3.15
Student Led ARDs and Reading Curriculum
What is Fundations/Just Words?
• Research-based reading and writing program • Explicit, cumulative and multisensory
instruction • Emphasizes phonemic awareness, phonics-
word study, high frequency word study, fluency, vocabulary, handwriting and spelling
Spelling Tests
• There is no “list” for spelling in Fundations or Just Words
• Tests are given at the end of each unit (1-3 weeks)• Students are taught WHY the word is spelled that
way and WHY English works the way it does • Use the Unit Resource lists to practice the
concept versus memorizing words • Learning concepts builds deeper understanding
that will be generalized to bigger, longer words
In a Nutshell - Tells you the topics covered in the unit - Tells your what trick words (sight words)
are being taught - Tells you the proposed length of the unit
(can be changed depending on student mastery)
Resource Page- Provides you with
examples to use with your student
- Includes new words from the current unit and words from the past units
- Includes sentences and phrases
Nonsense Words Mastery of nonsense words demonstrates mastery of the spelling concept
Spelling and Reading
• Spelling words should be taught in context • Makes the words meaningful• Have your student highlight trick words in the
readers that are sent home • Have your student write sentences using
words that they are learning in the unit • Have your student read sentences that you
have written with the words they are learning
