Words Their Way Australian Supplement DVD

Words Their Way is a highly successful and highly regarded program on word study for phonics, vocabulary and spelling instruction. It allows the teacher to assess and clearly identify the spelling stage of each student, and to tailor activities that engage students so they actively construct their own knowledge of spelling patterns.

The Australian Supplement has been developed as a direct result of feedback from Australian teachers. It works in addition to the five companion volumes that cover the five spelling stages:

• Letter and Picture Sorts for Emergent Spellers
• Word Sorts for Letter Name–Alphabetic Spellers
• Word Sorts for Within Word (Pattern Spellers)
• Word Sorts for Syllables and Affixes Spellers
• Words Sorts for Derivational Relations Spellers.
