Driveway word formulas...how many words can you make? How does the pronunciation change as suffixes are added?

@lifelonglit @janhasbrouck Loved watching your lesson Lyn. Thanks for sharing.

Free webinars for kids: We started the week with the W-Effect (see pic sent in by a very smart grandmother) and ended by adding suffixes to <e> and <y> final words. Next week will be back to back Spelling for Life lessons. @janhasbrouck

@natwexler Check out the free West Virginia Phonics Lessons that are free @tools4reading.com

Anyone know of good resources for linking #phonics and early #spelling or #writing instruction? I know I've seen something on that on Twitter but of course I can't remember now what it was. Thanks!
