Description: An innovative, developmental approach to teaching phonics and spelling. Contains lessons in which students select letters to build short and long words. Effective tools for strengthening spelling and phonics skills. Making Words is a multilevel book that explores words and letter patterns while increasing vocabularies.
Details: As a first grade teacher I used this book as an intervention tool with my ELL students last year. It helped with voacbulary as well as phonics. The activities are hands on and we were able to create several games using the lessons as well. I recommend this book to anyone in the primary grades. It is great as an intervention tool, large group activity or as a center.
Review Summary: Creative
Date: 2007-01-10
Details: This concept keeps kids interested. They want to figure out the little words and the big words created by the letters, so it's an excellent one for phonics. If you already use Open Court, it would be a good supplement. There is some prep time involved in writing and cutting the letters, unless you're smarter than me and use die-cut letters from a bulletin board!!
