Summary:
Synopsis: Lori Helman, Donald R. Bear, Shane Templeton, Marcia Invernizzi, and Francine Johnston. Words Their Way with English Learners: Word Study for Phonics, Vocabulary, and Spelling, 2/e. Words Their Way with English Learners, 2/e is the most complete resource available for teachers to use as they facilitate research-based word study in classrooms with students from varying language backgrounds. Included in this new edition are chapter by chapter examples of students' work, hands-on sample learning activities, illustrative graphics and tables to support the text, a variety of word study activities, a concise outline of a research-based model of literacy development, references to multilingual language-learning materials and websites, and more. The book is modeled after the widely popular original book, Words Their Way, but is a stand-alone resource designed primarily to support teachers working with students from a wide range of home languages as they learn to read and write in English.
