Helpful hints
• This Powerpoint is NOT meant to tell you everything. It is meant to give you helpful
hints about what is important in your weekly spelling sort and to help you place your words
in their correct categories. Some of the weekly lists (sorts) you will really need to work
on and think about.• Always ask in class if you have a question!
Abbreviations & Explanations• OB = oddball– These are words that don’t fit the other categories,
for one reason or another. Often they have different vowels, consonants, or they break a rule.
• Base = this means the root word– If you take away prefixes and suffixes, the root
word is the base word.• /k/ = if you see a letter in between slanted
lines, that means “this letter SOUNDS like a k” even if it is NOT a K.
