4. AARI Module 3: Word Reading and Instruction Lesson #2 Consider this email I received from one of your colleagues: Hi Pete. I have already experimented with the "struct" matrix with my grade 6 LA class.  They were totally into it.  Looks like matrix exercises will be part of my regular practice. I wanted to add that even the most struggling students in LA were extremely engaged in the matrix activity. After we were finished, we did a reflection and these were the student reactions - no kidding, no scripting honest. "Word creation follows formulas" "Making words is easy with matrices" "Making words is fun with matrices" "Faster/easier to  be accurate in spelling" "Making words in the matrix increases my vocabulary" "Radical how a few word parts can lead to exploring so many other words" And the crème de le crème of answers - "Word matrices make reading easier!" I thought you might like these responses.
