    Vocabulary Building and Extending

    Spelling Skills - Code making and breaking
    Spelling becomes an exciting code-breaking challenge to give children vital strategies so they can deal confidently with the various building blocks of words. Words Rock! stimulates them to understand and remember how word parts fit together. Children are then empowered to make educated predictions about which blocks might fit where in different word contexts.

    Positive Activities for Early Learners
    The preparatory activities in Word Rock! draw young children into using words in meaningful ways through play long before they master more complex skills such as using grammar and punctuation or handling pencil and paper.
