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!

Great book for Phonics & Spelling Gr.3-5,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Big Words, Grades 3 - 6: Multilevel, Hands-On Spelling and Phonics Activities (Making Words) (Paperback)
This is a great how-to book for one specific phonics & spelling teaching strategy. It has made a big difference in my third graders ability to sound out unknown words and incorporate their knowledge of spelling patterns. Making Words is geared for K-3rd. Making Big Words is for 3rd thru 5th graders. It's a hands-on approach and it is very adaptable. You can do it just as suggested or adjust it to your students' particular need. It includes hundreds of lessons. It can also be used in coordination with thematic units that you may be using in your room. A great resource. Worth every penny. I just love Patricia Cunningham!

Older struggling readers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Big Words, Grades 3 - 6: Multilevel, Hands-On Spelling and Phonics Activities (Making Words) (Paperback)
I teach Title 1 disadvantaged reading students, most are learning English as a second language. I did a word a day with my 6th, 7th , and 8th graders. The making words lessons allowed me to introduce vocabulary, point out spelling patterns, talk about vowel variances, and talk about how our words are made up. I asked them to write the words as well as manipulate the letters. Sometimes, I asked them to group the words if there were several words with the same spelling pattern.
