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.

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.  \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaking Words Second Grade \u003c\/i\u003eis the best resource you can have on hand for motivating your students to learn words! \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Features 100 fun and interactive lessons for building phonemic awareness, phonics, and spelling skills. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Presents a concise method for involving students in the process of identifying phonological units and patterns within words. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Promotes student awareness of similarities in words that helps develop writing skills. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Includes reproducible letter tiles, record sheets for each lesson, and take-home sheets to copy, cut, and\/or laminate. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Highlights a list of useful children's books to extend the Making Words lesson. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatricia M.

Each lesson ends with a transfer step to help them apply the sounds they learn to the spelling of new words.  \"I would highly recommend this book to my colleagues because it engaged all of my students and helped each of them improve their reading and writing skills. My struggling readers felt successful after saying and stretching out the words then forming them...[and m]y fluent spellers had fun with the hands on approach and loved being challenged with the secret word. I saw good spellers blossoming in front of my eyes!\" --Marie Daniel, Clemmons Elementary School, Clemmons, NC \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"...the assessment piece is a strength of this text.

Cunningham \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The day I entered first grade, I decided I wanted to teach first grade. In 1965, I graduated from the University of Rhode Island and began my teaching career teaching first grade in Key West, Florida. For the next several years, I taught a variety of grades and worked as a curriculum coordinator and special reading teacher in Florida and Indiana.   From the very beginning, I worried about children who struggled learning to read and devised a variety of alternative strategies to teach them to read. In 1974, I received my Ph. D. in Reading Education from the University of Georgia. I developed the Making Words activity while working with Title One teachers in North Carolina where I was the Director of Reading for Alamance County Schools. I have been the Director of Elementary Education at Wake Forest University in Winston Salem, North Carolina since 1980 and have worked with numerous teachers to develop hands-on engaging ways to teach phonics and spelling. In 1991, I published \u003ci\u003ePhonics they Use: Words for Reading and Writing\u003c\/i\u003e, which is currently available in its fourth edition. Along with Richard Allington, I published \u003ci\u003eClassrooms that Work \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eSchools that Work\u003c\/i\u003e.  \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e Dottie Halland I have worked together on many projects. In 1989, we began developing the Four Blocks Framework, a comprehensive approach to literacy which is used in many schools in the United States and Canada. Dottie Hall and I have worked together to produce many books, including the first Making Words books and the Month by Month Phonics Books. These Making Words by Grade Level books are in response to requests by teachers across the years to have making words lessons with a scope and sequence tailored to their grade level. We hope you and your students will enjoy these making words lessons and we would love to hear your comments and suggestions.   \u003cb\u003eDorothy P. Hall \u003c\/b\u003e I always wanted to teach young children too! After graduating from Worcester State College in Massachusetts I taught first and second grade. After two years, I moved to North Carolina where I continued teaching in the primary grades. Many children I worked with struggled to learn to read in the newly integrated schools. I wanted to learn more and received my M ED and Ed D in Reading from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.   I also worked at Wake Forest University where I met and began to work with Pat Cunningham. After three years teaching at the college level I returned to the public schools and taught third and fourth grade as well being a reading and curriculum coordinator for my school district. At this time Pat Cunningham and I began to collaborate on a number of projects. In 1989, we developed the Four Blocks Framework, a comprehensive approach to literacy in grades one, two, and three which we later expanded to kindergarten, calling it Building Blocks, and the upper grades, calling it Big Blocks. By 1999 Pat and I had written four Making Words books, a series of Month by Month Phonics Books, and The Teacher's Guided to Four Blocks and I retired from the school system to devote more time to consulting and writing. I also went back to work at Wake Forest University where I taught courses in Reading, Children's Literature, and Language Arts Instruction for elementary education students. I am now Director of the Four Blocks Center at Wake Forest University and enjoy working with teac\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 x 10.78 x 8.52 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 08, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45552815046758,"sku":"9780205580941","price":104.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/bw3HPYweab9780205580941.webp?v=1777225866","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/making-words-second-grade-100-hands-on-lessons-for-phonemic-awareness-phonics-and-spelling-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
