Fantastic Reading
This resource was great for my students! Thank you for putting this together!
Great addition to Word Work Activities
My students loved working with these word work activities and I feel they have a great grasp on the meanings of the prefixes and suffixes with these activities they do during the week. Great purchase!
well crafted, accessible for all students
Great support for word study with students to use independently or with a group
Bridge sentences
I love the bridge sentences that provide the necessary scaffolding for students to learn how to understand word analogies, as well as the extension of their vocabulary
Great Vocab resource.
Glad I purchased this resource. It is a good way to target vocabulary for older learners.

Have a question about this resource? Log in to ask a question.
Is there a way to make the numbers less "squished?" ie. the 11 is hard to read. Thanks!
I am not sure what you mean. Are you opening the file from the latest version of Adobe Reader?
I've worked a couple of these with extreme difficulty. What is the number next to the pattern block supposed to represent? for example on task card 3, 1/2 = hexagon. It would be helpful to have an example.
Hi Carin! The number is telling you what that piece equals. You use that information to determine what the other pieces equal. Check out the answer key and it might make more sense.
I believe card 22 is unsolveable due to question 4 and card 12 is also unsolveable because of clue 3. Could you please check and verify in case I am mistaken
Hello. This resource doesn't have "clues". Are you referring to something else?
One card correctly filled in would help. I don't understand what students are supposed to do.
Hello! There is an answer key at the back of the resource with pictures of how the pieces are supposed to be arranged for each card.
