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.  \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e In \u003ci\u003eMaking Words First Grade, \u003c\/i\u003ePat and Dottie introduce first grade teachers\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eto100 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.   \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaking Words First Grade \u003c\/i\u003eis the best resource you can have on hand for motivating your students to learn words!\u003c\/b\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Cunningham, Dorothy Hall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0205580955\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780205580958\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pearson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 8.40w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 199","brand":"Patricia Cunningham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057293881599,"sku":"9780205580958","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b67c90b4-6267-490a-b4a1-e201bc72de13.jpg?v=1685046140","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-words-first-grade-patricia-cunningham-9780205580958","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
