Making Words These lessons are active, hands-on, manipulative activities in which children learn how to look for patterns in words, and they become aware of how changing just one letter or adding another letter changes the whole word. Children are given five to eight letters that will form a final word. Two letter words are made at first and then three, four, five, six, and eight letter words are built.
