We use Words Their Way (Pearson). It teaches spelling, vocabulary, and phonics based on the student's level. They progress through a continum of spelling stages. The teachers do words sorts and 'making words' activities for 15 minutes daily. We have seen a HUGE improvement in our students, and they are retaining the information through repeated practice instead of memorizing a list and forgetting it the next week.
