Description

Word ladders are a great tool for doing word chaining to connect phonemic awareness and phonics skills. Word ladders engage students by having them think critically about spelling & phonics patterns. Students will manipulate the phonemes in words by using the oral clues and picture clues. This can strengthen letter-sound connections in a fun, easy, non-stressful way.

Wait! Are you looking for phonics activities that are aligned to best practice? This word ladders resource is part of a year-long phonics & SOR mega bundle! Click here to see it all!
