Word Sort -- Week of 1/09

In word study this week we are working on the long-i sound patterns in spelling words. They are divided below into 1st, 2nd, and oddball categories. Words in 1st have the long-i sound on the first syllable, while words in 2nd have the long-i sound on the second syllable. The three oddball words follow the rule, but don't make the long-i sound.
