Die Untersuchung im Buch analysiert die Wirksamkeit von traditionellem versus erweitertem Rechtschreibunterricht bei Drittklässlern. Während der traditionelle Ansatz auf Rechtschreiblisten basierte, kombinierte der erweiterte Unterricht den "Words Their Way"-Lehrplan mit bewährten Rechtschreibverallgemeinerungen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der erweiterte Ansatz signifikante Verbesserungen in der allgemeinen Rechtschreibleistung, der Diskussion über Rechtschreibmuster und dem Transfer von Wissen auf unbekannte Wörter ermöglichte. Das Buch richtet sich an Grundschuladministratoren und -lehrer, die evidenzbasierten Unterricht implementieren möchten.
