5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Miss This Book!, November 12, 1998

By A Customer

If you don't buy any other book as a primary teacher, I would definitely buy this one. I have used in 2nd and 3rd grade and the kids love putting the letters together to make words. They don't even see it as work because they are having so much fun. There is just so much a teacher can do with this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Word Building + Good Reading Program = GREAT Readers, January 30, 2001

By	Colleen D. Gallagher "teachingheart net" (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Word Building was introduced to me about three years ago. I have been teaching for two years now and have used word building as a part of my reading program. I am pleased with the progress that my 2-3 graders make with this program. They understand how spelling and reading are related. Also it teaches them that two or three letters when put together make one sound. I purchased this book in September. I have been very happy with it. If you are unfamiliar with this method, this book is all you need. At the start of the book it shows you step by step how to set up word building in your classroom. Pictures are included. You will find over 150 word building lessons. Letter tiles for you to copy, cut, and laminate are included. I now feel that word building should be a part of every k-3 reading program.

5.0 out of 5 stars Motivating, fun, interactive program for teaching Language, October 26, 1998

By A Customer

This book provides hundreds of fun, hands-on activities for teaching children phonics and spelling. I've used the book for several years, taught other teachers and interns the program, and I have not had a negative reaction by any student, parent or administrator. It is an excellent method for teaching learning disabled students at the elementary level. Children really learn phoneme segmentation, an essential reading skill, through this process. They especially love the culminating activity, finding the "Big Word."
