Teacher Notes: Guide words have alwaySybeen a tricky skill to teach my students. My classroom is usually half regular education and half special@ducation students who are struggling readers. Many of my students do not understand that when using guide words you are looking for words\that fit alphabétically between the two words. | designed #hese pages to continue to provide students/with further guide word practice. The “Alphabetizing™ pages are great to show students how guide words,and putting,words in alphabetical order are related. lt was agreat “bridging” activity from alphabetical order work.t0 guide word practice. There are 3 levels of practice, included in this set of worksheets. Levelt — Alphabetizing to the 1%* letter Level 2 -Alphabetizing to the 2"4 letter Level 3 ~Alphabetizing to the 3" letter The levels allow yougto differentiate the practice for your students.
