WORDS THEIR WAY: WORD STUDY IN ACTION HOME SCHOOL BUNDLE GRADE 3 2005C

Trust Words Their Way™: Word Study in Action to teach your child phonics, spelling, and vocabulary. This powerful approach to word study encourages a close look at words to discover the regularities and conventions of written English needed to read and spell.

Keep your child engaged with these colorful 160-page consumable notebooks. Each notebook features approximately 36 lessons of four pages each plus an accompanying activity. Students study words by cutting, sorting, classifying, and pasting/categorizing them according to spelling patterns, sounds, word families, etc. Lessons consist mostly of sorting cards to encourage hands-on involvement that helps teach students to better recognize letters, patterns, and concepts in new contexts.

The heart of the Words Their Way: Word Study in Action program is the sort, or process of grouping sounds, words, and pictures that represent words into specific categories. Word sorting includes parent-directed instruction as well as independent learning. You begin by demonstrating how to sort picture or words cards by sound or pattern. Later, as children sort word cards of picture cards on their own, they make discoveries and generalizations about the conventions of English orthography.

The Level C Homeschool Bundle includes: Student Word Study Notebook, Teacher Resource Guide, Word Sort Envelope, and Parent Guide

Family Pride: What LGBT Families Should Know about Navigating Home, School, and Safety in Their Neighborhoods (Queer Ideas/Queer Action)

An invaluable portrait and roadmap on how to thrive as an LGBT family
 
The overwhelming success of Dan Savage’s “It Gets Better” YouTube project aimed at queer youth highlighted that despite the progress made in gay rights, LGBT people are still at high risk of being victimized. While the national focus remains on the mistreatment of gay people in schools, the reality is that LGBT families also face hostility in various settings—professional, recreational, and social. This is especially evident in rural communities, where the majority of LGBT families live, isolated from support networks more commonly found in urban spaces.
 
Family Pride is the first book for queer parents, families, and allies that emphasizes community safety. Drawing on his years as a dedicated community activist and on the experiences of LGBT parents, Michael Shelton offers concrete strategies that LGBT families can use to intervene in and resolve difficult community issues, teach their children resiliency skills, and find safe and respectful programs for their children.
