Words Their Way with English Learners: Word Study for Spelling, Phonics, and Vocabulary Instruction (Words Their Way Series)

Several teachers at my school have looked through the book and are delighted with the material.

My elementary school has added ESL students this year and I'm looking for help. I bought this book based on the reviews I had read. This is a DRY DULL textbook with no practical information. Don't waste your money!!

I use Words Their Way in my classroom all the time. I love the way it teaches my students to spell logically and developmentally. I can tell a lot about my students understanding about how English words are written and pronounced by the way they read and spell a word. This book is specifically about English Language Learners and that is an even greater asset. I have used Words Their Way with my ESOL students for awhile but this book really has a great understanding of my students and a better focus on them. I would still include the main book and the books for each developmental spelling stage in the program, but this book helps immensely. It is even better for teachers with ESOL students in their classes who have no or little training in how to teach them. Or for people who want to understand a bit more - like me!

If teachers don't have this book, they need to buy it. It will teach them everything they need to know about literacy.I have had the pleasure of meeting the author and he is certainly one of the best in teaching literacy.
