Red Words
Reviewing Red Words constantly is essential. Students need frequent practice to master Red Words. Remember, Red Words are mastered when the students can read AND spell them. Students will often be able to read many more Red Words than they can spell. It’s important that they get plenty of practice spelling the words in order to be able to apply them in writing.
The most effective way to review Red Words is with a 2 part review, consisting of words for reading and words for spelling. A new Red Word should be practiced for reading first, then spelling. Red Words should move through a 4 pile system in this order: 1) New, 2) Read, 3)Spell, 4) Retired.

Tips for the Three Part Drill
- The sand is the most tactile activity. It will give you the most bang for the buck if the students are doing it correctly. If you can’t be there to watch them, then DON’T use sand. Sand tray (tactile tray) needs to be used in a small group or individually.
- Learning a new skill, they need to write it 3 times in the sand. During the auditory drill, they need to only do it one time in the sand unless they miscue.
