Words Their Way with English Learners helps teachers determine what their students bring with them from their home languages, where their instruction in English orthography should begin, and how best to move these students through their literacy development.
Words Their Way with English Learners uses proven, research-based word study development as a foundation to help English learners develop literacy skills. Chapters 1 through 3 introduces teachers of English Learners to the stages of spelling and reading development, the assessments to use, and the best ways to organize your classroom for word study. This new book also includes samples of student writing in Chinese, Korean, Arabic, and Spanish throughout these early chapters to contextualize the assessment information.

PRAISE FOR Words Their Way with English Learners
Many texts have suggestions for integrating word study into a language arts day but tend to ignore the focus on teaching students both vocabulary as well as phonetic knowledge. I like that this book explicitly targets second language learners.
Kristi McNeal, CSU Fresno
This book is certainly timely and needed in the field. It will be an asset to teachers who are familiar with the principles of word study but may not have a strong knowledge base for working with English learners. I look forward to seeing the completed book so I can include it as required reading in my literacy classes!
Maria J. Meyerson, National University, Nevada
These chapters are beautifully written. Each begins with teaching vignettes that provide a context for the chapters. The anticipatory structure with questions and clear step-by-step procedures is easy to follow. They are written with a strong "teaching voice" that’s user-friendly. The teaching described in the chapters is based on sound "best practice." Lots of resources are given. Great activities! But they’re well grounded in theory. I thoroughly enjoyed reading these chapters.
