MegaWords spelling practice books provide excellent teacher resources including plenty of spelling activities.
Click here to see sample pages. Book 3 in the MegaWords Spelling Practice Books focuses on unaccented ending patterns and unaccented middle syllables with a schwa or short-i vowel sound. Students learn patterns that help make spelling these words easier and also learn how to use accent patterns to sound out multisyllabic words. Exercises include spelling practice designed as pair work, proofreading, crossword puzzles, word finds, fill in the blank, categorizing, and sorting. Each word list also includes a review section, writing exercises, and dictations. An Accuracy Checklist, Proficiency Graph, reading check tests, summary of accent patterns, and scope and sequence chart are included. A Teacher's Guide is available.

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.
