Words Their Way: Emergent Sorts for Spanish-Speaking English Learners - Brossura

What does the field have to say?

This text is an addition to a well-known and highly successful series.  The research base is well documented and the teaching strategies are classroom proven.  It doesn’t get any better than that.

Patricia Kelly, Virginia Tech

I was very excited when I saw the title of the book, and even more interested as I looked through it.  I think this is a valuable addition.
