One teacher we know tells her students that when they draw their solutions, they are giving her a "postcard to their brains!" Did a student get the wrong answer because he could not read the words, or because he could not do the math? A look at his illustration will tell you.

Building Bigger Words
from Primary Concepts
PRI7008 (Primary)
ISBN: 9781601841780
Help children read and spell longer, more complex words, by building onto root words with prefixes and suffixes. They begin by adding simple inflectional endings, then common prefixes and suffixes to root words. They might turn play, for example, into a dozen or more words, including plays, playing, playful, displaying, and playfully. Soon they are building powerful words such as con-struc-tion and de-part-ment. Once children learn to construct big words, they will be better able to deconstruct big words they see in their reading into manageable word parts. Includes 60 hands-on lessons in which students create over 500 words.
Grades: 1 - 3

Vowel Power
from Primary Concepts
PRI7006 (Primary)
ISBN: 9781601841766
Children will develop mastery of vowel/sound correspondence as they build hundreds of words with common vowel sounds and regular patterns. With the frame r_d, for example, they will see that simply changing the vowel will let them create red, rid, rod, ride, rode, rude, raid, read, and road. These engaging, hands-on lessons are guaranteed to give your students first-hand experience with the power of vowels, and they will begin to appreciate the tricky nature of vowels in our language.
Grades: 1 - 3

from Primary Concepts
PRI7007 (Early Childhood, Primary)
ISBN: 9781601841773

Research shows that the best readers and writers see analogies between words they know, and those they are trying to decode or spell. Word Chains foster this strategy by having children build words from other words. Dictate the words to children, or have them solve the puzzles independently.
Grades: K - 3

Time to Rhyme
from Primary Concepts
PRI7005 (Primary)
ISBN: 9781601841759
Expand the study of rimes as you work with words that have the same ending sound, but which are spelled in two or more different ways. Students build words with letter tiles, sort the words by spelling patterns, and use words that rhyme to create sentences. Each rhyme family practice sheet has its own self-checking chart, plus a word bank of homophones and their meanings, so children can work independently and check their own work. You'll explore 28 word families and build as many as 18 words (including homophones) for each rhyme family.
Grades: 1 - 3

Rime Time
from Primary Concepts
PRI7004 (Primary)
ISBN: 9781601841742
Give students an early reading boost and tap into the power of rimes. Children will practice letter/sound recognition while building, reading, and writing hundreds of words. They will add selected onset tiles (consonants, blends, and digraphs) to common rimes, such as at and en, and blend them together. Watch them discover the huge number of words they can make.
