Product Description:
Best Seller. This innovative book combines phonics and spelling in 150 hands-on activities that will challenge children as they learn new words and sort them by letter patterns, prefixes, suffixes, and big word parts. With each lesson, students use pre-selected letters to make 15-20 words, starting with short words and building up to longer words. And they discover that changing just one letter or the sequence of letters in a word can change its meaning. Includes guidelines for creating lessons to suit your specific needs! 160 pp. Gr. 3-6
