I too have started using your word study plan with my third graders this year. We are working our way through the vowels right now. I teach all the Language Arts for our third graders and only have 90 minutes per group. I have had to discontinue using 2 lists. My kids are weak and giving the test was a disaster with a sub. I'd like to ask where you find your poems, etc for introducing the word study units. I'd also like to know if you continue with the same testing pattern as you move into homophones, etc. Thank you so much for posting all of your great ideas!!!
