Dictionary Word Sort

Beginning a new year in 3rd grade has kept me much busier than I originally thought.  So, I might not get to many updates until later this summer!

One area my class has been working on is alphabetizing.  Not just any old alphabetizing, but figuring out the words that go between guide words in a dictionary.

I created a couple practice sheets for my students to work with.

I was surprised at how much my students enjoyed this activity.  I was able to differentiate this activity by putting my students into small groups to complete the task together.  The conversations I heard about words was wonderful.  Each student was fully engaged and was very willing to explain his or her thinking about the correct order.

Enjoy and happy sorting!
