“Going back through the syllable types, with larger, multisyllabic words, instilled confidence with our students when coming to 'big' unknown words. Using these skills on paper, after having used the magnet boards in the past, gave them freedom to use these skills in everyday reading and writing.
Not only did students' accuracy and reading fluency improve on NWEA MAP Reading Fluency with grade-level passages, they carried the skills and strategies over to their weekly spelling, too. The Six! was an invaluable resource, especially for our students with diagnosed reading disabilities.”
