What's the #1 way to increase student engagement? 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!

The Within Word Pattern Spellers Games and Activities Mega Bundle focuses on short and long vowels (CVC and CVCe), common long-vowel patterns (CVCe and CVVC), less common long-vowel patterns, r-controlled vowel patterns, diphthongs and ambiguous vowels, beginning and ending complex consonants, homophones, unaccented beginning syllables, contractions, plural endings, sounds of the past tense -ed, and irregular verbs.

The download for each unit includes a partner game and an independent game (that can also be modified to play with partners) for each sort for a total of 59 games and 59 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 Within Word Pattern Spellers, 3rd Edition Sorts 1-59)

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 Within Word Pattern 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 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 Within Word Pattern stage. These students typically fall somewhere between late-first grade and mid-fourth grade and cannot consistently spell many one-syllable words correctly, although they can read them. They are developmentally ready to study common and less common long-vowel patterns, r-controlled vowels, and diphthongs.

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!

NOTE: These games and activities are included in the Engaged Spelling All-Access Library. Please do not purchase if you are a member!
