their written language and to help them achieve mastery in recognizing,
spelling, and defining words.

•“There is a synchrony in the relationships of
reading, writing, and spelling development.”
Words Their Way (pg. 15)•Why is word study important?

• “Teaching children phonics is a lot easier than teaching children to use the phonics they
know.”
• “There is logic to the sounds represented by letters in English, but the logic is in the pattern,
not in simple rules.”
Patricia Cunningham says,

• “From fifth grade on, the average student encounters 10,000 new words each year – words never seen before encountered in print. Most of these are big words, words of seven or more letters or two or more syllables. Many of these words are related through meaning and word parts. A child who knows the words hunt, red, fog , and string will have little difficulty with the meaning of hunter, redness, fog lights, and stringy. Meaning relationships exist between plants and planetariums, vicious and vice, part and apartment, but these will probably not be apparent to most children unless they are pointed out. However, if readers understand [the relationship of word parts], they will know six or seven words for every basic word.”
Nagy & Anderson, 1984
