Introducing RULE of the WEEK

Have you ever wondered about the rhyme or reason for the way words are spelled?  Is it just random or is there a grand design and rules that really explain and govern word construction?  

Some say spelling rules are too complicated and they don't apply to enough words to make learning them worth it. There's a lot more to it than just "i before e, except after c" and "when two vowels go walking. . ."  The truth is that over 90% of words follow explicit spelling rules that make words make sense.  Teaching them is IMPORTANT for EVERY student - not just struggling readings and those with dyslexia.

When you consider that there are over 4 million words that are included in the English lexicon - good luck trying to memorize all the words you might want to read or write!  If we left it to only those words we could memorize, our vocabulary would be very limited.  Finding the patterns and rules in how words are assembled allows us to read or spell so many MORE words!

Are the rules of spelling a little fuzzy for you?  Do you struggle to understand what they mean and get confused with words that don't seem to fit?  No worries!  The 3Word Nerds are here to explain them ALL!  There are about 30 rules that need to be addressed and we will be bringing them to you a week at a time!  We'll FULLY explain the rule and give you EXAMPLES!

Stay tuned - the FIRST RULE is coming soon!  We'll also have some materials available to help you teach it to your students!  One great feature is that you'll have resources for students that are at an early reading/writing level all the way up to advanced so you can differentiate instruction and challenge your students.  We'll have posters available, activities, and MORE!​
