The Word Workers Activity Books have been written specifically for students at the early to intermediate years of reading acquisition (suggested ages 7-11). The series is structured to develop, in a sequential manner, basic reading skills. Word Workers takes students from the earliest skills of phonemic awareness to the higher order skills of syllabification and structural analysis.
In Word Workers Book 5, students learn to read words containing digraphs and diphthongs, vowels before 'r' and silent letters. Blending techniques are used to apply to new skills as they are introduced. After completing this book, students will be able to read and spell words containing these sounds and phonic generalisations and work with skill-appropriate comprehension activities.
