Making Words FREEBIE

In my aforementioned comprehension class, we briefly discussed the importance of increasing vocabulary and word knowledge.  One of the methods we discussed was the activity of "Making Words."  For this activity, students are given several letters and then make as many words as possible.  Then students can sort the words and add words that fit with the pattern of the words they formed using additional letters.  This great book Month-By-Month Phonics for First Gra (Month-By-Month (Scholastic))


contains many suggested letter combinations and a step by step guide to lead students through the activity.  Another way to come up with the letters is to use the letters of any word you choose, put the vowels in alphabetical order followed by the consonants listed in alphabetical order.  For example, you may choose the letters from the word tamale.  You would present the letters like this  a a e l m t.  I think we often do this type of activity with holiday words.  Well, I've put together a set of these making words activities in an easy to use format.  Come get a couple pages FREE in the preview at my TN store here.  The full Making Words Pack can also be found at my TN store.  All items are on sale now through Wednesday!
