Getting Started
To get started, you will first need to give your students a spelling inventory. This inventory assess their ability to write letters to represent the sounds they hear. There are three spelling inventories that Words Their Way recommends (Primary, Elementary, and Upper Elementary Spelling Inventories.)
Each of these inventories has a list of words that increase in complexity of spelling skills. Once the spelling inventory is given, then you can use the Feature Guide to score and identify the student's developmental level. Take a look at our pages for each level of spelling development, there you'll find resources to help you get started!
