The Megawords series offers a systematic, multisensory approach to learning the longer words encountered from fourth grade on. Word lists build sequentially on phonic and structural elements. Lists are alphabetically sorted, separating practical spelling words from less-common words. Words are broken down into syllables which are then combined into whole words that are used in context to increase reading and spelling proficiency. This structured approach makes longer, complex words less intimidating.
The workbooks teach students word attack strategies that they can apply to sounding out unfamiliar multisyllabic words and the varied exercises take a multisensory approach, calling on students to read, write, and say the words in which they are working.
