e-Advanced Alphabetics
This electronic, screen-shareable resource includes Google slide sets (in PDF format) for remotely teaching compound words, common suffixes, common prefixes, and related word families. e-Advanced Alphabetics:
- Offers a flexible sequence – meaning, users can start with any slide set, teach any words, and assign any activities.
- Provides clear descriptions of a compound, suffix, prefix, and how they can change word meaning, usage, spelling, and/or pronunciation.
- Follows the explicit instruction model and moves from teacher explanation to modeling to guided practice and then student application of taught word skills.
- Scaffolds from more familiar or basic to less familiar or academic words and with chunking, meanings, examples, or synonyms to without.
- Concludes with activities for matching words and simple meanings, sentence combining, or write to read paragraphs that can be completed individually or in small or large groups.
