Spelling and Phonics with Words Their Way

There are so many high-quality spelling and phonics programs available, but here’s why Words Their Way is my favorite and the one I’ve used for all three of my kids:

• developmentally appropriate and based on extensive research on how the brain learns spelling
• puts child in active learning role (hello, self-education!)
• Simple!
• multi-sensory

This is what Charlotte Mason said about spelling and phonics instruction:
"Naturally; for though many of our English words are each a law unto itself, others offer a key to a whole group, as arrow gives us sp-arrow, m-arrow, h-arrow; but we have alternate days––one for reading, the other for word-building––and that is one way to secure variety, and, so, the joyous interest which is the real secret of success." (Home Education, p. 214)

In this video I show you how I’ve simplified the the Words Their Way method for home education and what that looks like in real lessons. I alternate word sorts every other day with reading lessons.

As always, if you have any questions about this method leave a comment below.
