Who are these games and activities for?

> > > These resources were developed with 3rd - 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 late stages of Within Word Pattern who are reading and writing many words with inflectional endings. Typically these students have already shown success with CVCe & CVVC long vowel patterns, less common long vowel patterns, r-controlled vowel patterns, dipthongs and ambiguous vowel patterns, beginning & ending complex consonants, and homophones.

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!
