Words Their Way: Word Sorts for Within Word Pattern Spellers is intended to supplement 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 supplemental text expands and enriches that word study, specifically for within word pattern spellers.

Within word pattern spellers are typically transitional readers. During this stage of development, students learn to spell long-vowel patterns, and they read most single-syllable words accurately and with increasing fluency. They are ready to begin contrasting long and short vowels, and sorting words by grammatic and semantic features.

Words Their Way: Word Sorts for Within Word Pattern Spellers provides teachers with prepared reproducible sorts and step-by-step directions on how to guide students through the sorting lesson. 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.
