Word Way User Manual
Word Way is a collection of ten interesting and purposeful learning activities designed to help students acquire language skills. The program is non-linear and non-hierarchical, and students are free to start or leave any of the activities at any time. Each of the ten activities requires the student to use specific reading and writing skills. The skills required are listed in the table on page 5 and within each online activity.
Suggested grade range
The topics in Word Way are often introduced in grade 3 classrooms. Due to its structure, which allows students to freely explore a wide variety of activities and communication skills, the program, especially in combination with others in the series (Write Way, for example) may be used in higher grades for students in need of remediation and practice in basic language fundamentals such as grammar, vocabulary and spelling.
Recommendations for use
Word Way is designed to supplement the language curriculum. It is not designed to be a primary source of instruction. Because it is highly motivating, it is particularly suitable and useful as a tool for remediation and reinforcement. Most students readily begin exploring Word Way on their own, require little supervision and enjoy working with the activities for a full class period or more. The program is designed to be used independently by students and does not require close adult supervision.
