Annotation: Patricia M. Cunningham and Dorothy P. Hall "Making Words First Grade" Based on the best selling book, "Phonics They Use: Words for Reading and Writing," this grade level series offers a fresh pairing of lessons and activities for kindergarten through fifth grade. In "Making Words First Grade," Pat and Dottie introduce first grade teachers to 100 Making Words lessons that cover all of the literacy skills included in most first grade curricula. The activities progress through a systematic, sequential phonics program that includes ample practice with the phonemic awareness skills of segmenting and blending. After students gain experience stretching out words to add letters and make new words, all lessons include a transfer step to help them apply the sounds they learn to the spelling of new words."
