In chapter two the book talking about word study. Word study provides insight inot how words work. It helps indentify wich parts of speech they are to analyze their structure and to spell them. Word study is the knowledge of roots, affixes, homonyms, and other vocabulary, spelling, or grammatical features.
This chapter talking about six lessons including root meaning-mystery, parts of speech (clinquain-synonyms)-survival, homonyms-biography, suffixes-fantasy, parts of speech (diamante-antonyms)- the Holocaust, and prefixes-poetry. In the lessons they talk about each have the same stages wich are: teacher directed whole-group insturction, teachers-gudided small-group instruction (student facillitaed comprehension centers and routines), and teacher facilitattted whole-group reflection and goal setting. In these lessons for each stage the book changes too, esxcept for poetry. Word study builds on student's knowledge of language, including grammer and phonics. This will help because at the end it talked about how each teacher also did this with specail education kids, which I help sometimes.
