Description
Our goal is to provide teachers with the tools and resources to teach all children to decode and spell in a manner that leads students to become joyful, skilled, independent, and metacognitive readers and writers.
Word-Wires is a comprehensive word analysis program that fosters a classroom environment where all students are honored for their personal strengths and literacy instruction meets them at their individual levels. Using Word-Wires, teachers can make instructional decisions that reflect a deep knowledge of linguistics, best teaching practices, and the individual needs of each student. We equip students with generalizable and transferrable skills for reading, spelling, and vocabulary acquisition.
The Word-Wires One Curriculum is aligned with the Common Core First and Second Grade foundational skills. While some of the lessons may work with older children, we recommend teachers use the Wired For Reading™ intervention program instead, as the tone and pacing of the Word-Wires One Curriculum is designed for use in a Core, Tier 1 First or Second Grade classroom.
The curriculum set includes:
Three Volumes
- Part 1 (Units 1-3),
- Part 2 (Units 4-5),
- Appendices (Black Line Masters)
Teaching Tool
- 1 Mouth Mat Folder (A high quality file folder with the mouth pictures printed on the inside and a blank grid on the outside to speed up set-up for mouthy games. Includes two sheets of mouth pictures to cut out and adhesive dots for assembly)
