SORTS FOR MIDDLE SYLLABLES AND AFFIXES

DIRECTIONS FOR VOWELS IN ACCENTED SYLLABLE

SORTS 9 -18

These sorts review common vowel patterns and introduces the role of accent in spelling. Students will learn that the accented syllable often has patterns they learned in the within word pattern stage. See Words Their Way for complete instructions about how to place students, how to conduct sorts, and for follow-up activities that will assure students practice for mastery. Chapter 2 describes assessment, Chapter 3 describes organizations and core activities and Chapter 7 describes the syllables and affixes stage in detail. There are more sorts in Words Their Way Sorts for Syllable and Affixes Spellers.

Pretest: To determine how much students already know about the vowel patterns in two

syllable words, you may want to administer spell checks 20 and 21 using the Progress Monitoring/Goal Setting Forms available with other assessment resources at this website.

SA Sort 9. Long-a patterns in two syllable words

Go over any unfamiliar vocabulary and ask students what they notice about the words in the sort (they are all two syllable words and all have long a sounds in one syllable). Introduce the key words and underline the long-a patterns of ai, ay and a-e. Remind students of the vcv pattern in the word basic and underline the a. Students should be able to help you sort the rest of the words and find the oddball. As you check the sort, read down each column and emphasize the stressed syllable to introduce the idea of accent or stress. Sort the words again by whether the stress falls on the first or last syllable and ask students what they notice. The stressed syllable has the long-a sound (There may be some disagreement about words like detail but just put it in the oddballs if needed). Do not be too concerned if some students struggle to identify stress. They can simply sort by the patterns and whether the pattern is in the first or last syllable.

basic vacant bacon fable flavor

waiter

sailor traitor detail remain explain complain

1st syllable stressed basic bracelet vacant prayer bacon payment flavor maybe waiter layer sailor traitor

SA Sort 10. Long-e patterns in two syllable words

See directions for sort 9 as this sort works very much the same way except with patterns of long-e. When you sort by accent you will find that athlete is an oddball as the long-e pattern is not in the accented first syllable.

reason creature easy greasy reveal conceal

complete athlete delete supreme extreme

agree

feeble greedy freezer between sixteen

SA Sort 11. Long-i patterns in two syllable words

Go over any unfamiliar vocabulary and ask students what they notice about the words in the sort. (they are all two syllable words and two sounds). Introduce the key words, underline the

patterns, and talk about the sounds. Students should be able to help you sort the rest of the words and find the oddballs.
