1st Grade Spelling & Words to Know {Journey’s 1st Grade Units 1-6 Supplemental Materials}

 I used the spelling words and words to know from Journey's 1st Grade Reading series and created pocket chart cards to use both on my focus board and in word work centers. 

My grammar wall was used in independent and teacher lead small groups. The foam core boards were color-coded to go along with the parts of speech. It was a quick reference for the students to use.


Spelling words and words to know were introduced at the beginning of the week and placed in the pocket chart on my focus board.

Pocket chart cards for each lesson used in Journey’s First Grade reading series. I used the spelling word cards as parts of speech for my grammar wall. At the end of the week, I transferred them to their respected parts of speech. Spelling cards are designated with N for noun, V for verb, LV for linking verb, PN pronoun, P preposition, AV adverb, and C conjunction.
