Quick-reference Strategy Chart
Strategies by the Numbers is used by classroom teachers, aides, and parents to supplement any core curriculum, including the Wordtivities word study curriculum. Strategies by the Number is also used by interventionists in conjunction with the SPELL-Links to Reading & Writing word study curriculum.
"I love the fact that Strategies by the Numbers is based on the connectionist research model, which views spelling and reading as a 'dynamic interplay of phonological, orthographic, and semantic knowledge.' Consequently, the strategies in this book focus on simultaneously developing and strengthening phonological, orthographic, semantic and morphological knowledge during reading and writing tasks."
