Overview

Click here to view videos of the authors talking about Words Their Way!   Words Their Way® Word Study for Letter Name-Alphabetic English Learners: Letter, Picture, and Concept Sorts for Spanish Speakers is a new text providing strategic assistance for teachers working with native Spanish speakers.  Based on the same solid research and using the same scope and sequence laid out in Words Their Way® with English Learners, this companion volume begins with a series of picture concept sorts that teach students how to sort, providing guidance to help teachers make sorting meaningful.  The text develops a routine for introducing the English vocabulary, helping students learn the vocabulary before they sort.    The words for study are selected based on their phonetic properties as well as their usefulness in reading, speaking and understanding grade level content.  The text addresses the needs of the letter name-alphabetic speller, whether young or not so young.  The text is careful to include sorts more appropriate for older learners, as well as advanced EL students needing more concept and vocabulary support.

What does the field have to say? This text is an addition to a well-known and highly successful series. The research base is well documented and the teaching strategies are classroom proven. It doesn't get any better than that. Patricia Kelly, Virginia Tech I was very excited when I saw the title of the book, and even more interested as I looked through it. I think this is a valuable addition. Marsha Riddle Buly WesternWashingtonUniversity
