Common spelling patterns are helpful when students are decoding new words, as well as when they are trying to sound out words for their own righting. However, often students learn to spell words without learning the meaning of the words. My students use my Vocabulary and Word Work packets to not only learn to spell the word, but to master the meanings, use the words in sentences they write and find the words in books they read. Download my L Ending Vocabulary & Word Work Packet, which helps students differentiate between el, le and al endings, for free from my Teachers Pay Teachers store.
