instructional stage of spelling development.
Utilizing the Primary Spelling Inventory, "Word Work iPad Partners" were created, partnering two students within the same stage of instructional development.
A "Word Work iPad Partner" Chart was created assigning each pair of "Word Work iPad Partners" to one iPad.
A colored dot was inserted between the names of the two "Word Work iPad Partners" on the chart. The colored dot corresponds to the "folder" on the iPad Word Work page that contains apps that are supportive of the Word Work iPad Partners' instructional stage of spelling development.
(For example- if the Word Work iPad Partners demonstrated understanding with initial and final consonant sounds and are developing their understanding of, recognition of, and application of short vowel sounds- the Word Work iPad Partner Chart contains a yellow dot between the two students names.)
Student "Word Work iPad Partners" reference the "Word Work iPad Chart" to identify their "Word Work iPad Partner" and identify the folder on the Word Work page of the student iPads to be utilized for their learning.
The apps contained in each Word Work folder are relevant to the unique stage of spelling development and contain apps supportive of phonemic awareness and phonics understanding and application.
Students learn cooperatively with their "Word Work iPad Partner" three-four times per week.
