“In The Word Study That Sticks Companion, Pam’s can-do stance about word study is contagious when she explains that, “you can support students’ developing language skills each day with rigor and joy!”  It’s easy to get jazzed up about word study because Pam’s vision and support in this companion text is so clear.  As teachers turn the pages, they will be reminded of the research behind word study and ways to put that research into practice.  This book is a treasure trove of visuals, step-by-step explanations, routines, and resources that are timely and invaluable.”

— Julie Wright, Instructional Coach, Educational Consultant, and Co-Author of What Are You Grouping For?
