Word Study

"Words are a lens to focus one’s mind."
- Ayn Rand

What is word Study?
Words Their Way
Words Their Way is a program for teaching orthography (the way in which the words of a language are spelled) to benefit spelling, vocabulary, reading, and writing.  It is a holistic approach that is beneficial for a couple of reasons: 1) It allows for instruction to be differentiated based on student needs; 2) the program is assessment-driven. The goal is for students to attach meaning to words as they spell and to use patterns to help them remember how to spell words.
