Extended Word Study Spelling Instruction with Third Grade Students

More about the book

Focusing on spelling instruction in elementary education, this book presents a comparative study of traditional methods using spelling lists and an extended word study approach incorporating the Words Their Way curriculum. Findings demonstrate that the extended method significantly enhances overall spelling achievement, understanding of spelling patterns, and the ability to apply knowledge to unfamiliar words. It serves as a valuable resource for elementary school administrators and teachers seeking effective, research-based strategies for integrating spelling into literacy instruction.
