Megawords

Older students who still struggle with multisyllabic words can feel babyish using early phonics materials, and Megawords was created to address exactly that problem. This spelling and word-study curriculum focuses on syllable patterns, prefixes, suffixes, and spelling rules for longer words, presented in straightforward workbooks that respect tweens’ and teens’ maturity. Developed by Educators Publishing Service, the series uses systematic lessons, reading passages, and exercises that build decoding, spelling, and vocabulary together. Parents and reading specialists appreciate that it targets the specific skill gaps many dyslexic and struggling readers have, without overwhelming them with text. The workbooks are a modest cost compared to intensive tutoring and can be reused as a framework even if you supplement with other materials. It’s paper-based and somewhat dry, so pairing it with high-interest reading and occasional games can help keep motivation up.
