word sorts on the iPad- with the Essential Word Sorts app

Using Bear's Primary Spelling Inventory and analysis of student reading and writing...
I identify the instructional needs of each Butterfly.

Word sorts provide an active opportunity for learners to explore, analyze, discover, compare, and... sounds, spelling patterns, and word features.  Word sorts promote word analysis that encourages flexible and fluent decoding and encoding as readers and writers.

The First Grade Butterflies access and complete word sorts, individualized to their developmental needs as a reader, writer, and speller, in the Essential Word Sorts for the Primary Grades Student iPad app.

I utilize the Essential Word Sorts for the Primary Grades Teacher iPad app to manage and monitor student sorts and progress.
