Word Study / Spelling Tic Tac Toe - Freebie to 3!


Hot off the press! I just added a new product to my TpT store.


We do word study at my school, based off of "Words Their Way." Every Monday through Thursday, my kiddos have word study homework.

Last year, I had a list of activities in the front of their word study notebook that they can do. Some are fun, some are lengthy. Obviously by the second week of the school year, my students were doing hangman and the other fun activities every week. It was all fine and dandy, they were still learning their words, but I wanted to brainstorm an idea to encourage them to try all the different activities... even if writing sentences isn't their fave.

So! I came up with word study tic tac toe, but this could also be used with any spelling words for the week too. The students need to have at least 10 spelling words. Then they just pick a row that they want to do for that week and they complete all four activities (homework for Monday through Friday). I created 8 different tic tac toe templates. They all have the same activities so that the students are used to the activities and you don't have to explain new activities every week, but the activities are all moved and jumbled up so that they're not doing the same ones every time.

You can find this product in my TpT store {here}. I am also going to give the first three commenters a copy. Please leave your email and follow my blog and I will send you a copy for you to use in your classroom. I can't wait to hear how it goes!
