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
Cloze the Gap or What's
