What Looks Right? : 

Cunningham et al (1998) What Looks Right? These lessons are premade in Month by Month Phonics for the Upper Grades. Write two words on the board with the same sound pattern but different spelling patterns. They determine which word they think is correct, and they write only that word. Then, they look that word up in the dictionary to prove it is spelled correctly. The teacher crosses out the incorrectly spelled word on the board, and then writes the next word.

Warning: Strong Verbs

Rivers: Nature’s Wondrous WaterwaysWritten by: David L. Harrison Illustrated by: Cheryl Nathan Published by: Boyds Mills Press, Inc. : 

Rivers: Nature’s Wondrous WaterwaysWritten by: David L. Harrison Illustrated by: Cheryl Nathan Published by: Boyds Mills Press, Inc. The hills and low places make a valley and all the water in the same valley drains down to the same river. As the river grows, the force of its water gouges a groove called a channel. It pries into cracks and loosens pieces of the mountain itself. It may slice down deep into rock to carve a gorge or a canyon. It crumbles stone slabs into pebbles and sand, and cuts soft rocks, creating riffles and rapids and waterfalls. Guess the Covered Verbs Remember: Verbs are action words. Remember to ignore the prepositional phrase when determining verb tense. All the water _________ down to the same river. What verb will work here?
