This book, intended for use with the core Words Their Way book, is the ideal supplement to any phonics, spelling and word study curriculum. The Words Their Way: Word Study for Phonics, Spelling, and Vocabulary Instruction core book provides a practical, research-based and classroom-proven way to study words with pupils; this companion volume augments that content with numerous reproducible sorts that specifically address the needs of the syllables and affixes speller. Accompanying the sorts are step-by-step directions for guiding pupils through the sorting lessons, as well as follow-up activities and tips for using the sorts to their best advantage. This book is designed to help all teachers address the needs of all readers and spellers, giving them confidence in the knowledge that their teaching is developmentally appropriate.
Fantastic!! I would recommend this resource to any teacher using Words Their Way...it cuts down planning time in half, plus it's user friendly!
A Great Tool This book is very helpful in meeting students' individual spelling needs. It's nice to have the lists prepared for you and short instructional summaries to bring yourself up to speed on word patterns--things you don't even realize you know! The book is well-organized and offers success for all.
Excellent Introduction to SA Spellers This book is a great guide to teaching word study to SA learners. The reading is more simplistic and easier to understand than Words Their Way while offering appropriate sorts for this stage. It gives a more in depth view of SA spellers with an excellent sequence of instruction. It's only downfall is that many of the sorts are a little too complicated or have too many headers. It also only offers one sort for each part of a stage, even though some students may need to work within a sort for more than a week. Regardless of these negative aspects, I have really enjoyed this book and it is a great resource for any teacher's or school's library.
