Hello all and happy last week before our winter break! I would love to share a few resources for you to peruse at your leisure. One of the concepts and new ideas which was discussed at the 1st Grade Literacy Network Workshop was teaching high frequency words with spelling patterns in mind just like you do with other words in your literacy instruction rather than just by sight. I am linking a blog post from the International Literacy Association discussing the ideas behind why this is an appropriate practice. I am also sharing a couple of sites which discuss this concept and then sort high frequency words from the Dolch list by pattern.
Hopefully, you'll find these resources useful and valuable; please use as you feel appropriate! Stay safe, warm, and happy during your break!

On the site Cult of Pedagogy, I read a blog post entitled 'Stop Killing Reading' written by Jennifer Gonzalez and focused on an interview with Pernille Ripp, master teacher and founder of The Global Read Aloud. I highly recommend you read it too.
