Utilizing Write Word (spelling words) assessments to identify the "instructional list" of each student, "iPad Write Words Learning Partners" were created, partnering two students within the same instructional list of developing Write Word mastery.

An "iPad Write Words Learning Partners" chart was created for student reference and to support students' independent use of the Spelling City app.
The initial column on the chart lists the iPads in numerical order #1-13.  In the two proceeding columns on the chart, each of the "iPad Write Words Learning Partners" names are listed in one of the boxes in the two columns.  Between the two "iPad Write Words Learning Partners" names, a circle with the number of the Write Words list of instructional learning specific to the two students is included.

Students reference the "iPad WriteWords Learning Partner" chart to identify his/her Write Words Learning Partner, the iPad to use, and the Write Word list for learning on the Spelling City app.

Step by step directions for locating the MECC First Grade Write Word Lists on Spelling City was created with corresponding visuals of each step included in the directions to support the students' independence with the Spelling City app.  The directions are available for students to reference on the SMARTboard.

The "iPad Write Words Learning Partners" chart will be reviewed and revised every 3-4 weeks, utilizing the most current Write Words assessments for each student, to support the optimal learning for each Butterfly, as a "speller".
