An active and innovative approach to making words that teachers and
their students have grown to love is finally here Based on its
highly successful parent text, "Phonics They Use," this new
grade-level series "Making Words" offers teachers a fresh
multi-level activity and lesson series written for the kindergarten
through fifth grade classroom. Pat Cunningham and Dottie Hall
present classroom teachers with effective tools for strengthening
phonics and spelling skills that encourage students to move beyond
learning and into a world of word discovery. Each research-based
volume includes a wealth of friendly, hands-on, manipulative
activities that guide teachers in teaching the development of
words--from phonemic awareness to spelling. In "Making Words First
Grade, "Pat and Dottie introduce first grade teachers" "to100
lessons that teach all the phonics, spelling, and phonemic
awareness skills included in most first grade curriculums. Each
Making Words activity leads children through a systematic and
sequential phonics curriculum. All lessons include practice with
the phonemic awareness skills of segmenting and blending as
children stretch out words they are making and blend the letters to
make new words. Because teaching children letter-sound
relationships is easier than teaching children to actually use
these letter-sound relationships, all lessons include a transfer
step in which children apply the sounds they are learning to
spelling new words. "Making Words First Grade "is the best resource
