WORDS THEIR WAYTM - SHAKEN UP

INSTRUCTOR(S): Joy Strasburg, Nicolet Elementary
GRADE LEVEL: K-6
 

Are you wondering about your current spelling program?  Do children memorize words just to forget them a week later?  Do you find you just need a change in how you are teaching spelling?  In this course, you will be introduced to a word study program that is based off of Words Their WayTM by Bear.  You will see how this developmental spelling program is designed to meet the needs of a variety of students by using a hands-on sorting technique to teach patterns found in words.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to take the information they have learned and make plans to implement their own version of  Words Their WayTM in their classrooms.  From start to finish, teachers will experience the word study program in action and will have the chance to work through all of the various steps in this word study program.  Time will be given to create sorts needed and research various Internet sites that will aide in the implementation of word study in any classroom.
