Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

This activity is made for the primary spelling inventory from Words Their Way. 1.Purpose of Primary Spelling Inventory:To assess the word knowledge students have to bring to the tasks of reading and spelling. 2. Students should not study these words before the test. Studying the words would invalidate the purpose of the inventory, which is to find out what they truly know about how words work. 3. Please modify this assessment as needed. The words are ordered in terms of their relative difficulty for children in grades K-5. For this reason you only need to administer the words which sample features your students are likely to master during the year. Below you will find the recommended word count per grade level: Kindergarten: the first 5-8 words First grade: at least the first 15 words Second and Third grade: the entire list.
