The last two years of teaching second grade has shown me there is a serious decline in students' spelling and phonics abilities. Adding in word study activities to my classroom is essential to help get students caught up to where they need to be.

Today's Saturday Spotlight bonus episode is diving into my classroom word study routine. Specifically I'm discussing how I get started with figuring out my groups and what activities I have my students complete.
