Yes, I'm sorry I didn't explain that very well. Each lesson consists of 5 separate pages designed to teach a specific prefix, base or suffix. They usually take 10-15 minutes/activity (or page) but you can totally adapt them and do only the ones that you want to do to make it fit into 4 days. I generally use them only 3 times a week with my small groups, and I sometimes skip over pages if I don't think they are right for my group. If you click on this link and scroll down the page, you will see the place to order the Building Vocabulary Kits. They have a little blue icon that you can click on to see sample pages for each level. That may be helpful to you.
