Word Study Weekly Lesson Plan

Name___Julia Smith_____________________ Student Grade Level______________________2_______________________________

This lesson plan is for a word study group based on the assessment of the child below and for other students with this similar stage in development.

The student is currently at a within word pattern stage of development. Her strengths in this stage include VCe, r controlled vowels, complex consonant
patterns, common long vowel patterns, inflectional endings, and contractions. Her weaknesses lie occasionally in homophones, but mostly within
abstract/ambiguous vowels. The most visible deficit is in abstract/ambiguous vowels. This student appears to be in a late-transitional within word
pattern stage.
Objectives for week

For each child to improve their understanding of word study, moving forward within the word pattern stage of development. Students will know that different vowel
and consonant patterns in words produce different sounds and different meanings. Students will understand how to form inflectional endings, how to recognize
patterns with vowel digraphs and dipthongs as well as w outliers.
