Words Their Way: Word Sorts for Letter Name-Alphabetic Spellers, Global Edition

About the series

Underpinned by an evidence-based approach and academic rigour, Word Study features a teacher-directed, student-centred approach to vocabulary growth and spelling development. It is a practical and engaging way to study word features where students from kindergarten to junior secondary engage in a variety of sound, pattern and meaning activities, including sorting pictures and words. Word Study enables teachers to assess and track each student’s spelling stage, group students with common needs and tailor activities to improve students’ spelling knowledge. This developmental approach gets results and stands in sharp contrast to most spelling programs which ask students to memorise rules and words. All books have been adapted for Australian classrooms with British English spelling and Australian pronunciation.
