Your child will be taught vocabulary by using Word Benders. Level C is recommended for grades 7 to 12. Students effectively build vocabulary skills with a "puzzling" twist! With 38 reproducible activities in each book, Dr. Funster's Word Benders make thinking and vocabulary fun! This book is paperback.
GOALS
Students love these engaging puzzles that require analysis of letters, words, and word meanings to figure out how a word like "rank" can morph into "torpedo." As they bend words into other words, students build spelling, vocabulary, and deductive reasoning skills needed for top test scores and higher grades in all subjects.
METHODS & TEACHING SUPPORT
The activities feature subtle word changes that encourage students to think through the vocabulary they already know and deduce or look up unknown words to complete each puzzle. The higher level activities require changes in word roots, prefixes, and suffixes. Each book includes brief teaching suggestions, practice activities and answers. |
