My goal this year is to take my older resources from 2008 -2010 and really bring them up to some amazing standards. I'm starting first with my spelling units that I used for YEARS! Being a Navy Wife, as we moved and I had to change schools, I learned that some schools gave you many resources and some schools expected you to make everything yourself.
I love teaching spelling by using word family rules, the students learned how to spelling the words quickly and retained that knowledge in their writing documents! If your district has a set spelling unit for the year, these are also perfect for WORD WORK time! I you own this resource please download it again for all the new pages, activities, and center time fun! If not, it is 40% off for the next two days!
ADDITIONAL IDEAS TO EXTEND THIS LESSON

Week Two Create a classroom packet with five or more activities for your spelling / literacy center.
Week Three Create a classroom packet with five or more DIFFERENT activities for your word work center as a spiral review of the -ut word family.
Week Four Create a classroom packet with five or more DIFFERENT activities for your morning work as a spiral review of the -ut word family.
Week Five You can use individual pages for your writing centers, word work centers, art centers, read to someone center, and so much more!

One tip I really want to share with you is that I liked to send the spelling list and spelling homework packet home on Fridays. Was I assigning weekend homework? NOPE! But with many single adult homes and dual working parents, I found that having the list early helped to get an adult involved in helping our students to study. If the child wanted to do the homework packet over the weekend, even better. I have included a student spelling homework packet cover with the cute, themed clip art to help your students remain organized.
Terrific for an Emergency Sub Tub or Homework!
