Making Words- Word Work - (Spelling, Vocabulary & Phonics Review)- Library

This activity includes a student recording sheet, student scaffolding page for modification and an answer key for 10 words.

Making words is an engaging, word building literacy activity that you can use during word work. It also makes for an engaging literacy center. This can help all levels of students grow and improve their phonics and decoding skills, increase phonemic awareness, spelling abilities and active listening skills. These Library themed, no prep worksheets are perfect and easy to differentiate. A separate answer key is included for each activity, containing all possible (school appropriate) words to make. This also makes a great activity when you have a sub and are unsure of their technological ability- just have the students bring their scissors and a pen or pencil, print and go! No need to worry about the tech setup! The answer key is easy to print and share with the sub.

The target grade level for these lessons are 2nd to 6th grade, but could be differentiated based on student's ability level.

Students are engaged as they manipulate the letters to make smaller words while trying to figure out the mystery word- the one that can be made from all the letters provided on the page. As the students move the letters around, they quickly find out how a simple spelling change results in a completely new word.

This can be used as guided instruction for the whole class or a small group of readers or it can be used as a literacy center, morning work or substitute lesson plans.

HOW TO USE:

Students cut out the letters at the bottom of each Making Words page. Then they use the letters to form as many different words as they can and record them on the sheet. This can be done independently as a center or with teacher guidance in small group or large class settings.  They will sort the words based on the number of letters: 3, 4, 5, and 6+ letter words. Then students will try to make the Mystery Word- the word that is made up of all the letters.
