Megawords 2 Student Book 2nd Edition

The Megawords series offers a systematic, multisensory approach to learning the longer words encountered from fourth grade on. Word lists build sequentially on phonic and structural elements. Lists are alphabetically sorted, separating practical spelling words from less-common words.

In Book 2, the focus is on prefixes and suffixes commonly found on multisyllabic words.
