This word detective bundle is an introduction to basic academic vocabulary and word decoding skills, affixes, roots, and context clues.

It includes the lessons, worksheets, games, and other practice materials in four of my packets, at a discount:

• The Word Detectives packet (with several high-interest reading selections and practice activities),
• The Word-Building Suffix, Common Prefix, and Roots packets

The bundle allows great flexibility, as most affix and root activities will fit into 15 minutes or sometimes half an hour, with some reviews even shorter. It explicitly teaches about 33 important academic words with multiple ways to practice them as well as many roots and affixes and reading comprehension skills.

It is now editable, including a Word document as well as a pdf, so you can adjust the lessons when necessary to better meet your students' needs.

Contents:

• Word detectives packet: 5 lesson plans with engaging readings, worksheets for vocabulary and reading comprehension skills including inferences, close reading, word analysis, and context clues, with related games and quizzes-- about 1 week.
• Word-building suffix packet: Worksheets and suffix practice, 2-3 days
• Common prefixes packet: Prefix examples and practice, 1-2 days
