I've used Words Their Way for the last year and loved the strategies. This particular book gives lots more sorts for spellers in the letter name/ alphabetic spelling stage. It includes consonant blends and diagraphs as well as more short vowel sorts. These hands on materials have been a great help to me in teaching my mildly disabled elementary students, but all the regular lower grade teachers at my school are raving, and using these great strategies and materials.

This is a great resource for first and second grade teachers. Many of the skills addressed are those encountered in your classroom daily. Great companion to Words Their Way, and to offer a hands on opportunity for phonics, spelling and decoding words.

This book is easy to use right away and very practical. A must have for K-2!

This is one of the best book I've purchase to teach my daughter.

Each page is simple as I wanted and has enough activities with good key points.

This book is an excellent source for emergent readers, and detailed lessons on where to begin. This book has been extremely helpful and for a very busy teacher. It also provides a lot of hands on activities for the students.

I have been teaching for 8 years and love all the Words Their Way books. They help me teach spelling at my students instructional level. Love it!!!

I love the Words Their Way series for teaching kids how to spell. I appreciate that it gives them the tools to figure out how to write unknown words on their own with more accuracy as they continue through the different levels. I've used these books with highly gifted first and second graders, and have needed the red, yellow, green, and blue books for students at these age levels. Because the range of spelling ability is so wide in my classroom, I especially appreciate that the sorts are grouped by similar features, and these features are revisited time and time again through the different books, bringing a new level of sophistication to it each time. With this series, I am able to keep several different levels of spelling going in my classroom at any given time without feeling overwhelmed or feeling like some of my students are not getting appropriately leveled instruction. It's so easy to follow that once I familiarize my students with their new sort, they all complete the same assignments, just with different words. They are able to work together on some tasks, regardless of whether their words are the same or different, and this exposes them to features they will encounter soon, or helps to review features they have already practiced.

Super addition to the other books and levels. I now have 4 in addition to the original book. Now I can completely differentiate word study and the sorts are done for you!

This word sort book is an awesome resource that I use in my class during Word Study. I also have the other books in the series (each one focuses on different skills/grade levels.) This particular book is for K-1 readers. There are a pictures instead of words for the word sorts. I use this series in my classroom as a center activity and sometimes as an activity for the entire class.

I use Words their Way for a spelling program at school and I have found that this program really taps into the students phonemic awareness, phonics, and spelling abilities.
