What is a sure-fire way to keep students engaged in word study work while simultaneously providing multiple, varied opportunities for them to practice spelling? You guessed it - GAMES! If your word study routine has started to feel a little stale and mundane, consider sprinkling in some spice and fun to bring it back to life. Not only do games add excitement and engagement to your word study routine, they also challenge students to apply word study concepts that they are learning in new and unique ways. Win-win!

⭐⭐ 60 GAMES AND 60 INDEPENDENT ACTIVITIES ⭐⭐

The download for each mini bundle includes a partner game and an independent game (that can also be modified to play with a partner) for each sort for a total of 60 games and 60 activities. It is my hope that these activities help you increase student engagement and personal teaching joy during word study, spelling, or word work! (Aligned with Words Their Way Word Sorts for Letter Name-Alphabetic Spellers, 3rd Edition Sorts 1-60)

Whether you're looking for hands-on, engaging activities students can complete independently, partner games, centers, or ideas to spice up your small group lessons, these activities in Letter Name-Alphabetic Spellers Games and Activities Mega Bundle have done the creative thinking and planning for you! Versatility and consistency (not an oxymoron!) are built right in for you with many of the activities having the same format, you won’t have to teach students how to play with each new word sort!

While these games and activities are aligned to Words Their Way, they can be used to complement any word study program or focus with your students.

Who are these games and activities for?

> > > These resources were developed with 2nd - 5th graders in mind, but could successfully be used in lower grades within small group lessons and with teacher guidance.

> > > These games and activities are designed for students in the Letter Name-Alphabetic stage. These students typically fall somewhere between kindergarten and early first grade, however some students may need support in the Letter Name-Alphabetic stage in older grades as well. Students in this stage have begun to identify most single consonant sounds and are ready to begin learning how to read and write simple CVC words.

These activities provide a great way to add meaningful variety to your word study routine, keeping it fresh and interesting for students. With these activities, your word study block will be a time that students look forward to as they work to master these key spelling and word study concepts!
