- This guide explains how to assess students for placement in Words Their WayTM: Word Study in Action. It describes how to administer, score, and analyze the results of spelling inventories. This guide also discusses how to group students to monitor their growth within the program.
- These inventories are administered like traditional spelling tests, but there are some significant differences. Unlike traditional spelling tests, students should not study the words before the assessment. They should also be reassured that they are not graded on the activity.
