Word Their Way word sorts on the iPad

Using the Corkulous Pro iPad app, I created word sorts to correlate with Words Their Way word sorts within each spelling stage of development.

I created a "corkboard" for each word sort focus (ex: short vowel word families) with 6 correlated word sorts.

I emailed each of the "corkboards" to the student iPads and imported the corkboards into the Corkulous Pro app on each of the 26 student iPads.

Using Bear's Primary Spelling Inventory, I identified the individual stage of spelling development of each student.

For word sorts supportive of their individual stage of spelling development, the students access the appropriate "corkboard" within the Corkulous Pro app and a specific word sort within the "corkboard".
