Synopsis

A core text or supplement for phonics and reading methods courses.

Words Their Way, Third Edition is designed to help teachers address the needs of all readers and spellers, by setting out a clear way to accomodate each student's developmental level, then providing the best methods for teaching to that level. In support of this philosophy, the authors provide more than 250 ready-to-use activities for teaching word study, spelling, vocabulary, and phonics. The text is organized by developmental sequence, and activities appropriate for each level are inclusive within each chapter. Additional word sorts and directions for games are located in the Appendix.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Words Their Way: Word Study for Phonics, Vocabulary, and Spelling Instruction, Third Edition, a phenomenon in word study, provides a practical way to study words with students. Based on the research on invented and developmental spelling, the framework of this text is keyed to the five stages of spelling or orthographic development. Ordered in this developmental format, Words Their Way complements the use of any existing phonics, spelling, and vocabulary curricula.

Chapters 1 through 3 introduce you to the stages and the necessary assessments to determine your students' levels. Chapters 4 through 8 each focus on a particular stage of literacy development. Sections of developmentally appropriate activities, tabbed in color for easy location, accompany each of these chapters. In the Appendix you will find all of the reproducible materials―games, assessments, word lists, sorts, and game templates―in one place.
