Level 1 of Megawords targets students’ word knowledge and the Syllabication Rule. This level is perfect for beginner spellers or for older students who do not have a good grasp of the syllable. Through a variety of activities like proofreading, word searches, matching, dictation, fill-in-the-blanks, crosswords, reading comprehension practice, and more, students will be exposed to ~744 words across word lists 1–8. Megawords 1 covers six types of syllables and five types of syllabication rules (compound words, VC/CV closed syllables, VC/CV closed and silent-e syllables, VC/CV closed and r-controlled syllables, V/CV syllables, VC/V syllables, consonant-le syllables, and V/V syllables). Megawords emphasizes equipping students to sound out words with the goal to read and write multisyllabic words proficiently and fluently. The Teacher’s Edition walks parents through the instruction aspects of this program. 140 pgs, paperback. ~Rebecca
