It has been so fun to see how many of you are utilizing the Words Their Way assessment to determine kids developmental spelling stages as you prepare to differentiate to meet there needs. Many of you have asked how many errors a child can miss in determining their level. Here's what the researchers from WTW have to say on the issue. Hope this helps as you make plans.
Look down each feature column to determine instructional
needs. A student who misses only one (or two if the
features sample 8 to 10 words) can go on to other
features. A student who misses two or three needs some
review work, but students who miss more than three need
careful instruction on this feature. If a student did
not get any points for a feature, then earlier features
need to be studied first.
5. To determine a stage of development, note where students
first make more than one error under the stages listed
in the shaded box at the top of the Feature Guide.
