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. Students should have a firm grasp on various spelling patterns including CVCe, CVVC, less common long vowel patterns, r-controlled vowel patterns, dipthongs and ambiguous vowel patterns, and beginning & ending complex consonants and should be already familiar with many of the homophone pairs.

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!
