Word Structure has been developed to help students practice and master the important language skill of recognizing and understanding multi-syllabic words that are made up of base words, prefixes, and/or suffixes. It has been carefully aligned with the new Core Curriculum Standards. The reading levels have been carefully controlled using the Spache and Dale-Chall Readability Formulas.
Ways to Play
| Practice Level |
A student will be given a word, and depending on the level of play, will be asked to select the proper answer from 3 choices. An incorrect response allows the student to read the question again and select a different answer.

| Single Player |
The student plays a bingo-like game against the computer. Answering the question correctly allows the student to place a marker on the game card. 5 markers in a pattern wins the game.
|
| Multi Player |
