Word Study in Action: Overview

Words are delicious!That's what Richard Lederer suggests in his book
Adventures of a Verbivore. When we share a love of words with our students,
we give a gift that provides a lifetime of benefits. Knowledge of words takes
many forms. It involves a rich oral and written vocabulary, an understanding
of patterns in spelling, strategies for reading unfamiliar words, knowledge of
the grammatical function of words and an appreciation for the importance
of word choice in speaking and writing.
