"Word Study: Emergent Sorts for Spanish-Speaking Multilingual Learners" is the ideal stage-specific companion to Word Study with Multilingual Learners. Beginning with picture concept sorts, it provides strategies to help teachers make sorting more meaningful. The text develops a routine for introducing English vocabulary, helping students learn the vocabulary before they sort. Words for study are selected based on their phonetic properties as well as their usefulness in reading, speaking and understanding grade-level content, addressing the needs of any emergent speller, whether young or not so young.
