    • Summary:"Former teacher and current literacy consultant Pamela Koutrakos provides a comprehensive yet joyful, visual, and learner-centered how-to resource on word study instruction for elementary school. She covers how to set up the physical classroom and launch routines; how to instill curiosity and a self-starting attitude in learners about word study. The book will cover phonemic awareness, phonics, meaning, spelling, and high-frequency word work--all the facets of word study. Photos, word lists, key lessons, and recurring boxes for beginners will make it accessible for teachers of every level of experience. What sets this book apart is how much Pam shares strategies for getting students to take ownership of word study"-- Provided by publisher.
