How to Study a Word

Look at the word
  • What does the word mean?
  • What letters are in the word?
  • Name and touch each letter.
 Say the word
  • Listen for the consonant sounds
  • Listen for the vowel sounds
Think about the word
  • How is each word spelled?
  • Close your eyes and picture the word.
  • What familiar spelling patterns do you see?
  • What other words have the same spelling pattern?
 Write the word
  • Think about the sounds and letters.
  • Form the letters correctly.
Check the spelling
  • Did you spell the word the same way it is spelled in your word list?
  • If you did not spell the word correctly, write the word again.
