Words Their Way
"Words Their Way is a hands-on approach to word study that teaches students to look closely at words to discover the spelling patterns, syllable structures, and spelling-meaning connections that are needed for reading and writing. Within this program, students learn to examine, manipulate, and categorize words while focusing their attention on the critical features of words- their sound, spelling, and meaning" (Pearson, 2012).
The program covers the five development stages of word study:
- Emergent-Early Letter Name
- Letter Name
- Within Word Pattern
- Syllables and Affixes
- Derivational Relations
