Spelling Sort 43 High-frequency Words

Step 1: Cutting Out the Words

The first step in this spelling activity is to cut out the words from the provided sheet. Since you have done this before, you should be able to do it quickly. Take your time and cut out each word neatly. If you forgot your words, you can pause the video and copy the sheet to Create your own spelling word boxes.

Step 2: Gluing the Title on the Spelling Journal

Now that you have cut out the words, it's time to glue the title onto your spelling journal. Take your glue stick and Apply some glue to the back of the title. Stick it firmly on the top of your journal. This will help us identify your spelling video when you bring it back to school for us to check.

Step 3: Cutting Out and Organizing Exemplars

Next, we need to cut out the exemplars for this week's words. In Sort 43, we only have two exemplars, 'a' and 'be'. Cut them out carefully and save them. We will be using them later in the lesson. Put them in your spelling note bag for safekeeping.

Step 4: Categorizing Words by Location

Now, let's take a closer look at the words we will be working with. There are a couple of ways we can categorize these words. One way is to categorize them Based on their location. Some words, like 'before' and 'around', indicate a position or location. Take a look at the words and see if you can identify more words related to location.

Pros:

• Helps students understand different positions and locations.
• Enhances vocabulary related to Spatial awareness.

Cons:

• Limited applicability for words with specific locations.

Step 5: Categorizing Words Describing a Person

Another way we can categorize these words is by their description of a person. Some words, such as 'afraid' and 'alive', describe characteristics or states of a person. Explore the list of words and identify more words that can describe a person.

Pros:

• Develops students' understanding of descriptive words.
• Expands vocabulary for describing people.

Cons:

• Limited applicability for words that do not describe a person.

Step 6: Identifying Base Words

Let's try one more categorization method for these words. We can look for base words by removing the prefixes 'a' or 'be' from the words. For example, the base word for 'again' would be 'gain', and the base word for 'beside' would be 'side'. Find more words and their base forms using this method.

Pros:

• Improves students' ability to identify base words.
• Helps unlock the meaning of complex words.

Cons:

• Limited applicability for words without identifiable base forms.

Practicing Writing the Words

Now it's time to practice writing the words. Say the word, Spell it out, and then Write it down. Start with the first word and Continue until you have practiced all the words. Remember to use a sharpened pencil for neater writing. If needed, underline the base word to help with spelling accuracy.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have completed Sort 43 high-frequency words. By categorizing the words based on location, describing a person, and identifying base words, you have expanded your vocabulary and improved your spelling skills. Keep practicing these words to master them. Good luck!
