Synopsis
This new book provides strategic assistance for teachers working with native Spanish speakers that is based on the same solid research as Words Their Way® with English Learners. KEY TOPICS: This companion volume begins with a series of picture concept sorts that teach students how to sort, providing guidance to help teachers make sorting meaningful. The book develops a routine for introducing the English vocabulary, helping students learn the vocabulary before they sort. MARKET: Addresses the needs of the emergent speller, whether young or not so young. The text is careful to include sorts more appropriate for older learners, as well as advanced EL students needing more concept and vocabulary support.
