Based on the best-selling book Phonics They Use: Words for Reading and Writing, this new grade level series offers a fresh pairing of lessons and activities for kindergarten through fifth grade. In Making Words Fifth Grade, Pat and Dottie introduce teachers to 50 Making Words lessons that cover key literacy skills included in most fifth-grade curricula. Each Making Words 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 transfer step which helps students transfer what they have learned to reading and spelling new words.
