Description
This trusted teacher resource and course text provides a comprehensive approach to assessing and building children’s word knowledge (grades K-8). Kathy Ganske shows how carefully planned word study can improve students’ reading and writing skills while fostering their appreciation of language. Complete instructions are provided for implementing the Developmental Spelling Analysis (DSA), an easy-to-use assessment tool, and for tailoring instruction to learners’ strengths and weaknesses. Numerous word lists, student work samples, and “Literature Links” are included, along with 27 reproducible forms. The large-size format facilitates photocopying. Purchasers also get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials.
