Students are going to LOVE this SELF-CHECKING DIGITAL resource. It fits nicely with and supplements the Words their Way™ program, but can also be used without it. This package covers the red book - ‘Working Within Word Patterns’ (3rd edition).
Instructions for teachers are included in an 8 page PDF file. This includes all the links you will need. These games work on ANY DEVICE with a web browser. Users do not need to sign in to any program or account to play these games. The teacher will simply supply the URL for the game. This can be posted in any LMS SYSTEM such as Seesaw, Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, and more. Teachers will not have access to any performance records, this is simply for your students to test their own knowledge of all the spelling patterns for each sort.
These self-checking games are highly engaging for students. There is a range of games to play for each main group of sorts. There are at least one or more games for each sort. Students can navigate between games with ease. These games are designed to reinforce each spelling pattern using a variety of words from the Words their Way™ sorts.
Feel free to post the link on your server, LMS, class website, etc. as long as your students are the only ones to access it. This download is for a single classroom license.
