Mondays

 * Students choose 5 sight words for the week from their individual list of words they got wrong on the spelling test (at the beginning of Readers' Workshop). They check off the words as they choose them, and write them on an index card and on Tuesday night's homework.

Tuesdays

 * Students do a Word Ladder for homework with their 5 words. They change, add, or take off one or two letters from each word in order to make new words. Here is the worksheet with an example.

Wednesdays

 * Students do Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check at the beginning of Readers' Workshop.

Thursdays

 * Students do a Buddy Quiz during word study time. They also have a dictation of the word study concepts they have learned during the week at this time.
