We test our students three times during the year to check on progress. I usually have 4-6 separate groups of spelling/word study levels going. Each week on Monday I bring each group over to my table and we go over their skill for the week. Then I give them a corresponding word sort that goes with that lesson/skill. They do this either in pairs or on their own. They do other spelling type activities with it all week and test on Friday. It's actually really easy to manage. I have a folder for each group with the names of the students on the front and they have extra lists and sorts in there for the week. I haven't had formal pd on it but my district was a literacy first district so they trained through that. I'm sure it can be done better but it's a small touch on it.
