Every word on the list should fit the pattern.

What the organizer is for

What makes it structured

Structured literacy teaches the sounds of language and how print maps to them explicitly, in a planned order, with each lesson building on earlier ones. Students read and spell the same pattern in one lesson and then meet it in connected text.

The word check

The check uses simple spelling rules for each pattern, so it catches obvious mismatches such as a closed-syllable word in a silent e list. It does not know every exception; read the list yourself too.

What this is not

A planning tool for your own lessons. It contains no published program’s scope and sequence, word lists or scripts.
