Word Detective
In this activity, students identify incorrectly spelled multisyllabic words and correct them. They also find words with prefixes and suffixes and explain their meanings. With two levels for differentiation, this resource strengthens students' morphology and phonology skills. It's a valuable tool for showcasing their ability with multisyllabic words.
Learning goals
- We are learning to use phonic knowledge to read and write words with multiple syllables and complex letter patterns.
- We are learning to use phonological and morphological knowledge to read and write words with multiple syllables, complex letter patterns and known prefixes and suffixes.
