Word Works Literacy Center.  www.WordWorksKingston.com. “Teaching How the Written Word Works” by Peter Bowers. Uses morphological problem-solving to develop students’ language skills and engagement with the written word. (Check out this great interactive way of developing vocabulary and knowledge of word structure.

The Word Workout Method – a unique way to approach tackling words of 3 or more syllables. Click on “Computer Programs”.  I recommend the CD and workbook to go with it.  Good price when you buy both. About $45. ( I love this program for older students – age 12 and older - who have had some O-G basic level 1 instruction.  CHECK THIS OUT!
