When successful readers encounter unfamiliar words, they utilize strategies— for
example, identifying word parts such as syllables and suffixes—to help them
figure out pronunciation and meaning. This resource offers dozens of practice
pages that give older struggling readers multiple opportunities to review and
apply these word-study skills, recognize common spelling patterns, boost their
word recognition and vocabulary development, and gain confidence as they read
and encounter new words. As a result, students become more fluent readers. For
use with Grades 3-6.
