"This final unit in the Units of Study in Phonics, Grade 2 series is devoted to a careful study of words. The unique and the mundane. The fantastic and the forgettable. The expert words that only people who are immersed in a field of study would know. This unit focused on fostering word consciousness, and it relies on the work of many vocabulary experts on how to best create an environment in which students become aware of and intrigued by words and their meanings".
