More Working With Words

This  section is devoted to paper/pencil activities for practicing and working with high frequency words. Due to recent requests, I will devote some time to this section.  After looking at the documents that were created three or four years ago, I decided that I wasn't happy with the look. So . . . if you're a return visitor, you'll notice that the new items have a completely different format. Please note that I've taken the liberty to mix up some of the early words in order to provide more interesting word work. Each packet will have some of the following activities for 12 words, depending upon the type of words:

Configuration Station
Looking at the shape of each word
