Words Their Way: Word Study for Phonics, Vocabular...
Customer Rating:
I was very impressed with this book. I use it as an accompaniment to two others; Word Journeys by Ganske and Word Sorts for Within Word Pattern Spellers by Invernizzi. All three work together having the students combine word sorting and the sounding out words with spelling which generates investigation and critical thinking by the students.
This approach not only is a effective for the sutdents but also for the teacher. Teachers learn where the students learning levels are and what levels need work.
One of the best books for teaching word study
Customer Rating:
You get everything with this book! An easy-to-understand explanation of children's reading development, the many layers of reading, second language acquisition difficulties, examples, tables, and charts. And reproducible word study activities. Each stage of spelling is carefully explained with the approrpriate word study activities. Each stage also discusses ESL students and the problems they will encounter. Well-worth the money!!!!
