How to Use Word Sorts

There are many different ways to use word sorts. Here is a general overview of the process:

1. Choose a set of words that are related in some way. For example, you could choose words that all begin with the same letter, or words that have the same vowel sound.
2. Have students sort the words into different categories. For example, students could sort words into categories such as "words that begin with the letter A," "words that have the short a sound," or "words that have the long e sound."
3. Discuss the different categories with students. Help them to identify the common features of the words in each category.
4. Have students practice applying the features of each category to their own writing. For example, students could practice writing words that begin with the letter A, or words that have the short a sound.
