You might want to consider Word Journeys by Kathy Ganske. She did her work at UVA where Words Their Way was developed and I think this was her dissertation. It works beautifully with WTW, but I think it is much easier to use diagnostically. It has a feature analysis that allows the teacher to very specifically identify which features the student needs. The teacher can then start instruction at the ZPD. There are a number of activities, as well as an extensive word list in the back. It's a bit pricey, but well worth every penny. I use both resources. Lynn Stanley

My name made it on someone else's post. I have a very differentiated class. I have two kiddos that are beginning second grade in reading. Therefore their spelling is about that as well. I also have 3rd /4th grade level, 5th grade level and a sprinkling of great spellers. I teach a 5th grade classroom but have all title and resource kiddos. I'm looking for a program to fit all those needs. I have heard nothing but good things about Words Their Way I have purchased the main book but am looking to see what other resources anyone knows about that works with it. I will appreciate any suggestions. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org Search the MOSAIC archives at http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive
