100+ Word Chain Lists

We put together this collection of more than 100 word chain lists to help you leverage the power of minimal contrast word comparisons for building phonemic awareness and phonics skills. This ready-to-go collection of word chains is organized by skill progression. Couple them with sound markers, magnetic letters, or white boards to engage students and meet them where they are as readers. In Chapter 3 of Shifting the Balance we share more about how to use word chains like these with beginning readers.
