I LOVED Word Work because it was an already prepared, don't have to think about it lesson. I only switched out the activities each term. Even though the kids did Word Work at least twice a week, they didn't seem to get bored with the choices having them out for that amount of time. I'm guessing because even over the term, they'd only do each activity 2 or 3 times if they chose different ones.
I allowed my students to choose whatever activity they liked and take it to a seat. Two students could work on the same activity at a time.
I did have other activities like sandpaper words, scrabble tiles, wikki sticks etc but this is what I had in the drawers the term I took the photos:
You can grab the Roll and Write Graph and Make/Say/Check/Mix/Write sheets in Google Drive. These files have standard fonts and no graphics so that I could leave them editable for you to make any changes you want.
What's your favourite activity for spelling? I'd love some new ideas, particularly for Grade 4!
