Who are these games and activities for?

> > > These games and activities are designed for students in the middle of the Derivational Relations stage with the words being suitable for upper elementary/early middle grades. Many of the words studied in this unit will be familiar to students but they often lack the knowledge of the explicit spelling-meaning connection among these words and need direct modeling to show the value of focusing on these relationships as they continue to improve their spelling and vocabulary development.

These activities provide a great way to add meaningful variety to your word study routine, keeping it fresh and interesting for students. With these activities, your word study block will be a time that students look forward to as they work to master these key spelling and word study concepts!
