Summary: Well laid-out book, but LACKING
Comment: This is a well-structured book. Each lesson has a plan, as well as the example for how to use the lesson. Despite its structured layout, I find I don't like the sequence of word families. The first lesson goes from -at and -an right into -an and -ash followed by -am, families which I find too complicated to introduce that early in the study of word families. Also, the letter indentification component seems to be out of place for students who are ready to learn word families. If you teach kindergarten, this book won't be usable until probably mid-year, and by the middle of the book, the lessons are easily first grade material. Overall, I prefer the sequence in "Words Their Way" much more to the one presented in this book. If you want a set of canned word family lessons, you'll probably like this book, although the repetitive structure would be boring to students after awhile and you will still need supplemental materials. You get lessons here, but almost no ready-to-use material (mini-books, word sorts, etc, are NOT included). I think there are better resources available.

Summary: Making Words activities Made Easy!
Comment: This book gives you step-by-step instructions for ready-to-teach Making Words lessons!
This terrific book has been around since December of 1998, and I had my copy on order for several months before it was published. I've used it extensively in my first grade classes, and loaned it to every teacher who was even remotely interested in having some pre-made Making Words lessons for their Working With Words block. This year I'm teaching a straight kindergarten class, and none of my kinderkids are quite ready for these formal lessons yet, but I expect that my top readers will be ready for these activities before Winter vacation. This is a must-have for your professional bookshelf.

Summary: Easy Lessons for Teaching Word Families: Hands On Lessons t
Comment: This is a completely usable resource. I use it to help teach my 1st grade students word patterns each and every week. The lessons are provided in a clear and teacher-friendly manner. I especially enjoy the tie-in with nursery rhymes. This tool should be in every first grade class.
