Words end tion, cian, cious, tious, cial, ious, tient

For 3rd grade - high school. From the desk of a retired teacher, now reading tutor. Written for parents, step-by-step instructions on every page. 5 -10 minutes a day can make life a lot easier for your reader. Fast for parent; clear and easy for student.

There is not enough time for the practice of these critical lessons during the school day. This book will make a rapid difference for your student. These letter blocks are used in many hundreds of words. Being slow with them can make schoolwork miserable.

These letter blocks cannot be sounded out; "instant recognition" is required of the reader. Your student will get lots of practice looking at a root word like, direct, then finding and writing its partner word, direction. There is also practice in the form of Bingo games and choosing the correct word to complete a sentence.
