through letter naming, letter forming, and listening and speaking
activities such as poetry and play

Greek combining forms, and multisyllabic words
- help students understand and correctly use the components of
the English language, including common consonant and vowel
patterns, syllable patterns, common spelling rules, prefixes and
suffixes, roots, nonphonetic words, and contractions
- deepen older students' proficiency with language by introducing
less common Latin roots and Greek combining forms, new words
entering the English language, and lessons built around themes such
as calendars and mythology
To help educators teach with confidence once they're in the
classroom, this text is packed with practical, immediately
applicable material. Educators will get engaging classroom
activities (including 21 NEW activities suitable for use all
students, including English language learners); lesson plans
incorporating multisensory, language-based instruction; samples of

websites and reference material to strengthen their
instruction.

instruction--and an ideal professional development resource for
