I have had many questions about where to begin with students on Words Their Way because in 1st and 2nd grade you won't have assessment data until after you PALS assessment. Here is a link to a general guideline. One suggestion is to start with one class sort that you use for your word work/Phonics Lesson. Then differentiate for students that need scaffolding, support, or enrichment. It was recommended to try this option in order to expose all children to grade level rigor. This is an option we are exploring this year. Please do not feel that you must do it this way. We are still investigating the universal options for implementation that results in the best learning outcomes for our students. Please contact me if you have specific questions.
