Get a piece of paper and make a copy of the words with
two, three, or four syllables that you think you will be able
to read to your teacher.
Practice reading the words with a reading partner.
Show the list of words you can read to your teacher.
Wait for a smile.
If your teacher doesn't give you a smile within five to ten seconds,
give your teacher a smile and see what happens.
You may move the word parts (syllables) that are below to
make words. Hold down the left mouse button on a word part and
move it into a position to make a word.

***The addition and placement of sound buttons to go along with the word making activity is an experiment. It is worked correctly on a home computer. I will investigate its appearance on various school Internet computers. I hope it works for you. (November 2002)
