Review

Responses from the field…

A strength of each chapter is the Notes for the Teacher section that introduces each set of sorts.  This reminds teachers about developmental appropriateness and pacing variations based on learner needs.  Clearly the gradual release of responsibility model of guided instruction is promoted and reinforced throughout the text.

Barbara Pettegrew, Otterbein College

 

Chapter layout is excellent.  Format is designed to include anything that might be needed for the lesson, and each takes you step by step through the process being taught, allowing time for students to internalize and firm up the skills and strategies.

Susan K. McCloskey, California State University, Fresno

I would recommend this resource to any teacher using Words Their Way...it cuts down planning time in half, plus it's user friendly!

Words Their Way: Derivational Relations
As a reading specialist, I realize that Word Study is the only way to teach spelling. Words Their Way: Derivational Relations explains clearly how to teach this final phase on the spelling continuum. Excellent resource.

Words Their Way
This series of books enables me to provide differentiated instruction to my 5th grade students in the area of spelling, with ease and confidence.
