Words Their Way is a hands-on, developmentally-driven approach to word study that illustrates how to integrate and teach children phonics, vocabulary, and spelling skills.
Based on years of research into invented and developmental spelling, the classroom-proven framework of this successful series is keyed to the five stages of spelling and orthographic development. Teachers everywhere have grown to love it's no nonsense method for studying words. Each stage-specific companion volume features a complete curriculum of reproducible sorts and detailed directions for teachers working with students in each stage of spelling development, from emergent through derivational relations.
Words Their Way supports the CCSS's Reading Foundational Skills and Language Standards in Grades K-5. The depth and breadth of word knowledge developed through the Words Their Way approach to word study also supports the Common Core's emphasis on students' reading more complex literary and informational texts.
