About this teaching resource

Word Study Tools are all about empowering and guiding students to be aware, excited about and explore words to support them as readers and writers.

Each word study tool is therefore designed for what I call, transfer and use.

Each tool guides students to:

explore
work with what they know and expand into what they don’t know
collect

That means the child is the active learner, at their point of need.

Building a word consciousness, that is, an interest in working with words, studying words and using words, is what readers and writers need to grow.

Together these tools can help your students to take their learning and do just what we have been hoping for them to achieve: transfer and use!

Perfect for storing in Word Study Journals!
