Product Description
This book would be very useful for both university reading courses and classroom teachers. I use Words Their Way both in my first grade classroom and with college students as a way to implement word study. Kristi McNeal, CSU Fresno Words Their Way’s developmentally-driven, hands-on instructional approach has been a phenomenon in word study, providing a practical way to study words with students. The keys to this research-based approach are to know your students’ literacy progress, organize for instruction, and implement word study. This streamlined book and the DVD and CD-ROM that accompany it gives you all the tools you need to carry out word study instruction that will motivate and engage your students, and help them to succeed in literacy learning. Ordered in a developmental format, Words Their Way complements the use of any existing phonics, spelling, and vocabulary curricula. Knowing Your Students - Streamlined Chapter 2 provides step by step guidelines for assessing students.
- NEW! Words Their Way Word Study Resources CD: Assessment Planning and Additional Interactive Word Sorts contains computerized assessments to gauge students’ developmental levels.
- Word Study with English Learner sections in each chapter help you organize and adapt instruction to meet the needs of students whose first language is not English.
Organizing for Instruction - NEW! Words Their Way DVD Tutorial: Planning for Word Study in K-8 Classrooms reinforces and illustrates classroom organization and management, as outlined in Chapter 3.
- Word Study Routines and Management sections in every chapter give you practical guidance on managing and implementing word study in your classroom.
- NEW! Tech Notes throughout chapters pinpoint opportunities for you to use the DVD and CD-ROM to prepare for instruction.
Implementing Word Study - Classroom-proven, research-driven activities end each developmental chapter, giving you the instructional practices to get your word study instruction up and running immediately.
- NEW! Words Their Way Word Study Resources CD: Assessment Planning and Additional Interactive Word Sorts provides more than just assessments. You’ll also find hundreds of additional word and picture sorts, games and templates, and an interactive Create Your Own section.
- The Appendix at the back of the book contains a comprehensive bank of word lists, word sorts, picture sorts, games and templates.
The theory behind and practice for word sorts allows even the novice teacher to understand how to use the assessments to organize instruction. The organization of the last five chapters creates a useful resource for teachers. Each begins with a research-based description and moves into sound instructional practices, giving the teacher a complete understanding of how to meet the needs of students.

Great book for teaching students and beginning teachers July 26, 2010 Lydia Bought this for a class and didn't really use it, however another teachers suggested it and we've been using it a lot. Has a lot of things I didn't learn in elementary school and I've already learned some new spelling rules.
Great Resource June 29, 2010 Julie Nelson This resource book arrived in great shape and on time. This is a very informative book with many literacy games. I used this to complete a tutoring project and the student that I worked with liked the material so much that I made her copies to use at home after we completed our sessions together.
Words Their Way June 18, 2010 S Gutierrez 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
It had hardly any highlighting on the inside, which I appreciate. However, I was really upset that the spine had a small V-shaped chunk cut into it. I don't know if it was due to the mailing process or sent that way. I am assuming it had to do with shipping. As a result, this was my first experience having books sent via the mail and it may be my last. I will certainly think twice...or more!...before doing this again. Perhaps books should be wrapped in a paper before sent in the envelope or sent in bubble protected envelopes. If I knew this would protect them better I would reconsider.
A must-have resource June 16, 2010 Mary Howard (Carmichael, CA United States) Every teacher should have this book. This is spelling made fun and applicable. I've used the assessments and activities in Words Their Way in my general education and special education classrooms. It's worth every penny-and then some!
Excellent Easy to read with numerous examples June 13, 2010 Tammy O (Cleveland, OH) I love this book it is easy to follow and gives you many examples, along with blank copies for you to use in your classroom. It also gives you many activities within the book and on the dvd to use for your classroom.
