Book Study GuidePhonics instruction shouldn't end when students can decode short words. From an early age, they also need to be able to decode "big words"-words with multiple syllables (sound units) and morphemes (meaning units)-to read proficiently. Dr. Heidi Anne Mesmer shares a K-5 scope and sequence to guide practice, and offers abundant research-backed strategies that teachers can put into action immediately.

“Big Words for Young Readers fills a huge void in the field of early literacy! Dr. Mesmer has artfully translated the research on learning to read big words into easy-to-use practices. Her book provides a teacher-friendly roadmap for incorporating instruction in morphology and multisyllabic word reading. It is a terrific professional learning resource.” —HOLLY LANE, Ph.D., Director, University of Florida Literacy Institute (UFLI) “Heidi Anne Mesmer offers a principled approach to teaching big, more complex words. She begins with a clear, concise explanation of morphology and, from there, devotes chapters to specific word parts, following a sensible scope and sequence. Written with busy teachers in mind, her book contains useful objectives and activities enhanced by figures, tables, and real-world examples.” —PATRICIA VADASY, Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist, Oregon Research Institute
