What does Word Work or Word Study look like in your classroom? I'm always curious how teachers incorporate this element of Language Arts into their schedules. Does it have it's own designated block of time during the day? Is it squeezed in during a chunk of time? Perhaps Word Study is not a part of the day at all. I've seen it done all 3 of these ways. My word study/work philosophy has been evolving over the past few years, but it took a MAJOR turn this year after I attended a workshop with Jan Richardson, the amazing teacher and author of "The Next Steps to Guided Reading."
