Cover of Making Words Fifth Grade

Teachers are introduced to lessons that cover key literacy skills included in most fifth-grade curricula. Each activity leads students through a systematic process for learning prefixes, suffixes, and roots and how these word parts go together to form related words. All lessons include practice on manipulating letters into complex letter combinations and sorting words according to the patterns. All lessons conclude with a tansfer step which helps students transfer what they have learned to reading and spelling new words.
