Words Their Way: Word Sorts for Syllables and Affixes Spellers is intended to complement the text Words Their Way: Word Study for Phonics, Vocabulary, and Spelling Instruction. That core text provides a practical, research-based, and classroom-proven way to study words with students. This companion text expands and enriches that word study, specifically for syllables and affixes spellers.

Syllables and affixes spellers are typically intermediate and advanced readers and writers. They have a foundation in common vowel patterns in single syllable words and are ready to study multi-syllabic words, beginning with consonant doubling and moving through the study of basic prefixes and suffixes.

Words Their Way: Word Sorts for Syllables and Affixes Spellers provides teachers with prepared reproducible sorts and step-by-step directions to guide students through the sorting lessons. There are organizational tips as well as follow-up activities to extend the lesson through weekly routines. The materials provided in this text will complement the use of any existing phonics, spelling, and reading curricula.

More resources for word study in the syllables and affixes stage, including additional spelling inventories for grades 3 through 8, resources for using word study with students who speak Spanish, links to websites related to word study, and news about the Words Their Way CD-ROM and Video, other companion materials, and word study events, can be found on the text's Companion Website.
