Words Their Way

Words Their Way is a developmental spelling, phonics, and vocabulary program. The program uses a hands-on approach to word study to teach students to look closely at words to discover the spelling patterns, syllable structures and spelling-meaning connections of English orthography that are needed for reading and writing. Students learn to examine, manipulate, and categorize words while focusing their attention on the critical features of the words-their sound, spelling, and meaning. This is a powerful, high engaging, and fun word study.
