Working with Words

In every reading lesson, the students work with words in a variety of ways. The goal of working with words is to provide children opportunities to spell and read words through activities that build phonemic awareness and application of phonetic skills.

Depending on the level and need of the students, some of the word work that students may complete within a Title One reading lesson include:

Adding suffixes to base words (often changing the spelling of the base word.)

Using manipulatives to learn sight words.
