Welcome to Word Wiz, where the magic of learning morphology meets the thrill of strategy as your students practice learning basic prefixes and suffixes in this research supported game! 🎩✨
Step into the world of word mastery with our engaging card game designed by a speech-language pathologist to unlock your instruction as you explicitly teach the most common prefixes and suffixes. Are you ready to become the ultimate Word Wiz?
🔠 Create Words: Dive into the rich world of morphology by combining root words with commonly occurring prefixes and suffixes. With 96 different root word cards, 55 prefix cards (8 unique), and 80 suffix cards (11 unique), the possibilities are endless!
🔄 Spin the Spinner: Let the spinner guide your creativity as you spin to determine how to use your word in a fun and imaginative way. Will you have to define it, describe it in a sentence, cover and spell it, or use the prefix/suffix in another creative way? The spinner allows you to immediately use the newly formed words to enhance your language skills!
🏆 Earn Points: Rack up points as you skillfully construct words and complete challenges. But beware! Competing students can steal your hard-earned words by adding prefixes or suffixes, so stay on your toes and protect your creations!
🎓 Two Levels of Difficulty: Whether you’re a beginner or a word wizard in training, Word Wiz has you covered with two separate levels of difficulty. Start with the basics and work your way up to advanced word construction, all while having a blast! (There are also student cue cards for each level that explicitly explain and give examples of each prefix and suffix targeted in this game and are easily accessible to students who may use them for reference in their learning journey.)
💡 Foster Word Awareness: Develop a deeper understanding of how words are constructed by mastering multiple affixes. With a focus on commonly occurring prefixes and suffixes, Word Wiz builds awareness and confidence in word formation. This assists with vocabulary, reading comprehension, learning morphological structures, understanding morpheme definitions, and incorporates these newly form words into your expressive language immediately.
📚 Comprehensive Booklet: Need a little extra guidance? Our comprehensive booklet includes game instructions, contents, and an answer key to help you along your word-building journey.
