In my latest video blog, I’m diving deeper into the Word Study part of a guided reading lesson and sharing some tips about using Making Words. I’ve also created this helpful handout. It includes sample Making Words lessons for levels A through G.

Want to see Making Words in the classroom? Check out this terrific free video on literacyfootprints.com to see literacy expert Jan Richardson working with a group of emergent readers. You can find all of the magnetic trays and letters we used on the Teaching Tools page of the Pioneer Valley Books website.
