*According to Robert Marzano, highly effective teachers use similarities and differences in their classrooms. When sorting and transferring, you are finding similarities and differences. :-)

This is typically a two-day lesson. You have students make the words the first day, and sort and transfer the second day.

Make the Words:

• rage
• raging
• race
• racing
• care
• caring
• uncaring
• canoe
• canoeing
• courage
• encouraging

Sort the Words for Patters:

• rage, raging
• race, racing
• care, caring, uncaring
• canoe, canoeing
• courage, encouraging
• raging, racing, caring, uncaring
• etc.

Transfer the Words:

• If you can spell race, you can spell lace.
• If you can spell lace, you can spell unlace.
