For courses in Phonological Awareness & Phonics and Reading Methods.

This text is intended to serve as a companion volume to the core text, Words Their Way: Word Study for Phonics, Spelling, and Vocabulary Instruction.  Grounded in the same practical, research-based and classroom proven approach, this text enriches the main text’s content, specifically for emergent spellers.  In addition to emergent assessment tools, this volume provides teachers with concept sorting ideas followed by picture sorts for developing phonemic awareness, alphabet knowledge, letter recognition and concepts of words in print.  The book also includes activities for rhyming, syllabication, and sound play.
