Unlock Literacy Growth with Words Their Way Classroom
Personalized
Focus on Developmental Spelling Stages
Words Their Way Classroom carefully aligns instruction with the five developmental stages of spelling: Emergent-Early Letter Name, Letter Name, Within Word Pattern, Syllables and Affixes, and Derivational Relations. Word Study Notebooks are available for each developmental stage.
Engaging
Interactive Approach for Teaching Word Knowledge, Not Memorization
At the heart of the program is the hands-on or interactive sort. The sort invites students to group words or pictures representing specific sounds into categories. Most sorts begin with teacher-directed instruction along with questions to guide student learning and generalizations.
Manageable
Just 15 to 20 Minutes a Day
The word study routine is easy to implement and fits within almost any ELA instructional block. Each lesson provides strategies to model the sort, practise it, and apply and assess learning. Differentiated instruction and school-home connections maximize learning opportunities.
Digital
Add Variety, Sort Online
What do kids love? Digital interactivity! Take word work online with interactive resources. Demonstrate the sort and allow students to practise online. Combine with the print resources or download and copy PDFs for students.
