Polysyllabic Words

 

     Print the lists of words using a colour printer.  Then cut the word parts.  Ask the child to join the parts to make complete words.  The child may then write the words as “word sums.” For e.g., to+mor+row =tomorrow.  Give a dictation of the words a day or two after the child has played the game.  Make sure you store each set separately.
