Summary:
"Word study is an approach to teaching phonics, vocabulary, and spelling that is based on a developmental model described by Henderson and his students. Given the reciprocal nature between reading and writing, phonics, spelling and vocabulary are integrated in instruction. Teachers understand that this word study approach integrates phonics, spelling, and vocabulary, and have challenged us to share concrete examples of how teachers organize and implement word study and how literacy educators in universities and school districts conduct professional learning for word study. The primary goal, then, is to make word study work for our students. The authors of each chapter show how literacy leaders and teacher educators guide others in a wide variety of educational settings. Stories in this volume capture classroom conversations, describe professional learning communities, and present coaching scenarios that will resonate with reader's experiences"-- Provided by publisher.
