Effective vocabulary building with a puzzling twist! Students love these puzzles that require analysis of letters, words, and word meanings. As they bend words into other words, students build spelling, vocabulary, and deductive reasoning skills needed for top test scores and higher grades in all subjects. The activities feature subtle word changes that encourage students to think through the vocabulary they know and deduce or look up unknown words to complete each puzzle. The activities require changes in word roots, prefixes, and suffixes. The book includes brief teaching suggestions, practice activities, and answers. Grades 5-6
