Word Study should be a separate component. Readers workshop is where Word Study is applied. Maxine In a message dated 6/12/2010 1:24:41 P.M.

They tell you to do an assessment and that you start after they get two wrong. But I would disagree because some kids have good memories. As it turned out I had to pull way back because kids did not have vowel digraphs patterns learned or basic patterns, because we use Readers Workshop (Caulkins) really does not focus on phonics. They are now supporting Words Their Way, so that is why we have it. --- On Fri, 6/11/10, Karen Back <karen.b...@bigpond.com> wrote: From: Karen Back <karen.b...@bigpond.com> Subject: [MOSAIC] Words their Way To: "'Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group'" <mosaic@literacyworkshop.org> Cc: the_daily_five-ow...@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, June 11, 2010, 2:02 AM Hi there Apologies for cross posting.... I am interested in hearing from teachers who are using 'Words Their Way' as part of their spelling and vocab. program. I particularly would like to know more about how it is managed in the room when you have children at various levels. The program is becoming very popular here (Queensland, Australia) and schools are finding it is improving data. I know from previous threads on these lists there are quite a few of you that use it, so I thought I would go straight to the experts! Any information you can provide would be a great assistance.
