Sort City

Many of you have indicated a need for sorting activities. This page is intended to serve as an index to assorted sorts throughout the site. It will also include new sorting activities that don't fit in other areas. I've been going through my old files (now that I'm semi-retired) and have found some things that I used a long time ago. They will still work for young children today.

Ways to Classify and Sort Words

There are many ways to sort and classify words on a word wall, in a literacy center, or in a whole or small group lesson:

	Words that start the same (beginning blend, consonant cluster or onset)
	Words that end the same (rime)
	Words that rhyme
	Words that contain the same number of syllables (1, 2, or 3)
	Words that are the same part of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.)
	Words with prefixes, suffixes
	Long words, short words
	Words I know, words I think I know and words I don't know at all
	Words with long or short vowels
	Words with schwa sound
	Synonyms, antonyms
	Compound words
