Intermediate Word Study (2012)
This ATLAS-supported resource includes: (1) a public domain test for identifying students’ approximate grade level performance in word reading or decoding, (2) a series of ‘mini-lessons’ for teaching multi-syllable decoding with compounds, syllable types and rules, common suffixes, prefixes, and roots, and (3) an appendix of student handouts.
The following short PowerPoint slideshow provides background and guidance for using Intermediate Word Study. It offers a preview of the research, intended ABE/ESL student populations, and suggested use of the testing, teaching, and resource pages.
