The
Megawords series offers a systematic, multisensory approach to learning
the longer words encountered from fourth grade on. Word lists build sequentially
on phonic and structural elements. Lists are alphabetically sorted, separating
practical spelling words from less-common words. Words are broken down into syllables
which are then combined into whole words that are used in context to increase
reading and spelling proficiency. This structured approach makes longer, complex
words less intimidating. The workbooks teach students word attack strategies that
they can apply to sounding out unfamiliar multisyllabic words and the varied exercises
take a multisensory approach, calling on students to read, write, and say the
words in which they are working.
An assessment test to determine skill mastery and placement within the series
is now available, as are Teacher’s Guides.
