chain activities, your child will experience first-hand how big words are made. They’ll discover how multisyllabic words are built from morphemes (prefixes, suffixes, base words and roots.) This practice with prefixes and suffixes makes reading and spelling easier and quicker.
BOOK 3 BEGINNER LEVEL: AT THIS LEVEL, LADDERS HAVE 4 RUNGS. WORDS START WITH SHORT, ONE-SYLLABLE BASE WORDS AND ADD OR TAKE AWAY ONE PREFIX OR ONE SUFFIX AT A TIME.
This book is part of a series of beginner level books. Each book builds on the skills introduced in the previous books. Book 3 includes previously-introduced suffixes from Books 1 & 2, plus adds 2 new suffixes. Focuses on introducing prefixes.
4-Book Beginner Level Series:
Beginner Book 1: Short base words with one suffix. Introduces only 9 suffixes total. Familiar words
