The Complete High Frequency Sight Words Spelling game boards progress sequentially through 142 words. Determination of word order comes from difficulty of spelling combined with frequency of use. Students progressively master game board 1 in spelling then progress to game board 2 etc... When Level 1 is mastered, Level 2 is available with 14 more games. It is highly recommended that The Complete High Frequency Sight Word Spelling Games are purchased and played prior to the Spelling games. When reading is perfected, they learn to spell the same words using these spelling board game.
Students learn from each other. If a student misspells a word, the other player reads the spelling to her/him. The spelling cards contain each word at least 2 times in each game. There are multiple chances to hear, read, and say the words correctly. These activities offer students a chance to independently learn all their word wall words while you have guided reading groups or other literacy activities. It can be used as a -can do- or -must do- activity during literacy time.
