Words Their Way

Words Their Way is a research-based approach to teaching spelling, vocabulary, and word study. It helps students understand how words work by exploring patterns, sounds, and meanings. Teachers assess students' current skills and then group them by similar learning needs. Activities focus on discovering word patterns through sorting, analyzing, and playing with words. This personalized method encourages active learning and helps students develop a deeper understanding of language, improving both reading and writing skills through engaging, organized practice.
