Making Big Words, Grades 3 - 6: Multilevel, Hands-On Spelling and Phonics Activities

by Patricia M. Cunningham, Dorothy P. Hall, Tom Heggie

Overview

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. They will also discover that changing just one letter or the sequence of letters in a word can change its meaning. It also includes guidelines for creating lessons to suit your specific needs!
