http://resourceroom.net/readspell/wordlists/default.asp has a wide variety of words that are sorted into phonics categories. Our district's spelling program is similar to this unit plan. The difficulty we encounter is that students don't receive much direct instruction with word patterns. Therefore, they can memorize their basic words, but cannot apply it to their writing. I like to offer bonus words on the post test which follow the pattern, but are new to them. This shows a transfer of learning.

The question that I have is do you you any ideas/resources for word banks. I know you mentioned them. I have various books, etc. but having the children (third graders) pick pick from a separate source, which isn't using the same spelling pattern, doesn't make much sense.
Waddya think? :-)

I am very interested in this approach. Where do I find the pretest lists and the other lists?
Thanks
