Word Study (formerly titled Words Their Way(TM)) is a hands-on, developmental approach to word study. It clearly illustrates how you can integrate and teach phonics, vocabulary and spelling skills to all students. Guided by informed research of spelling errors and literacy behaviors, it offers a systematic, teacher-directed and child-centered plan for the study of words from kindergarten to high school. Emphasis is placed on knowing your students' literacy progress, organizing instruction, and implementing word study.

The 7th Edition features a new chapter on organizing word study, as well as new activities, progress monitoring materials and sample lessons. Word Study provides a complete word study curriculum that will motivate and engage your students while helping them to succeed in literacy learning.
