Linking word study to reading and writing
The ultimate test of a student's knowledge about words is the ability to transfer this information to reading and writing. A word study intervention must include opportunities for students to apply word-solving strategies to connected texts. Organized around 11 teaching episodes—including assessing word knowledge, modeling the word-solving process, providing guided practice, and prompting students to apply strategies during reading and writing—Small Group Intervention features a small group of students in a word study intervention that links to reading and writing.
