Synopsis

A hands-on, developmentally-driven approach to word study that illustrates how to integrate and teach phonics, vocabulary, and spelling skills to all students.
Words Their Way is a developmental approach to phonics, vocabulary, and spelling instruction. Guided by an informed interpretation of spelling errors and other literacy behaviors, Words Their Way offers a systematic, teacher-directed, child-centered plan for the study of words from kindergarten to high school. The keys to this research-based approach are knowing your students’ literacy progress, organizing for instruction, and implementing word study.

Review

“[Words Their Way] provides a major contribution to the field. It is superb for preparing teachers at the pre-service level and also supporting teachers at the in-service level.. Teachers will find the sorts very useful and can use them for whole class instruction, small group guided reading, differentiation, stations, and for one-on-one purposes.”
– Dr. Vassiliki Zygouris-Coe, University of Central Florida

“The outline of the spelling stages--the descriptions and examples of the writing samples – help the readers understand the stage and expectations of students at that particular level. [Strengths include]... The different kinds of sorts and information about English Learners throughout the text.”
– Dr. Stephanie Wessels, University of Nebraska - Lincoln

“I really like the examples it gives of activities for each type of speller. They are laid out for the reader/teacher and make it easier to implement... ”
– Keely Cahalane, Great Oak Elementary School
