Long, multisyllabic words don't have to be intimidating to your children. The skill-based Megawords series presents word lists arranged by word structure and spelling pattern, teaching reading, spelling, and usage through instruction and progression of skills.

 

In Book 7, students will focus on unaccented i and u and on advanced words that require the V/V syllabication rule; special accent patterns for longer words are also introduced. Exercises include spelling practice, proofreading, crossword puzzles, word finds, fill in the blank, categorizing, sorting, and passage reading for fluency and comprehension. 108 non-reproducible pages, softcover.
