Word Study: Letter Name-Alphabetic Sorts for Spanish-Speaking Multilingual Learners is the ideal stage-specific companion to Word Study with Multilingual Learners (formerly titled Words Their Way™ with Multilingual Learners). Beginning with picture concept sorts, it provides strategies to help teachers make sorting meaningful. The text develops a routine for introducing English vocabulary, helping students learn the vocabulary before they sort.
