[quote=Anonymous]Our school used words their way and the word groupings were fine. Some of the activities were totally stupid, but I blame the teacher, not the idea behind word study. The stupid ones included writing each word backwards and writing the words on someone's back. We only did those once in the beginning of the year and then focused on the better ones the rest. These included categorizing the words, writing the vowels in blue and consonants in red, writing 10 words in a sentence, making a poem using 10 words, writing a story using 10 words, alphabetizing the words. These were all fine and helpful both for spelling and writing. I've never heard anyone complain about wordly wise. It's a vocabulary/comprehension/grammar program, not a word study program. Why do people not like it?[/quote]
