These supplemental word work packets are very
helpful while teaching EL Curriculum! I created
the spelling lists using the cycle overview in the
module. They are taken directly from the skill of
the week. Students can work on these packets
during word work, whole group, small group, etc.
I started using these word work packets to
supplement the EL curriculum. I had my students
complete them during their WORD WORK station
during centers.
As a first grade teacher, you may have to
complete these packets as a whole group until
they become more independent. Many activities
they can complete by themselves from the start
though. J
Please note that these lists do not include all of
the words from the lists.
The high frequency words are taken directly
from the cycle. Enjoy! I hope this helps!
