What educators are saying

I use this for tutoring after school. My students absolutely love this. They began seeing connections to other words and loved working together to solve the clues. When I bring this out they literally say, "Yay!" My students and I recommend this.
I use these in my literacy centres...the kids really enjoy them! Initially they were a bit leery to even try but once they realized it's like a puzzle they changed their tunes! This would be great to use as a morning warm up, or in emergency sub plans. Super low prep and easy to use.

⭐️ Why use word ladders in your classroom? Puzzles are highly engaging for students, but they also give students plenty of opportunities to build their critical thinking and logic skills. Students can't get enough of these fun puzzles that also build vocabulary, spelling, and logic skills! For English learners, students are sure to learn some new words, and it's a great time to go over the pronunciation of the words to show that similarly spelled words can be pronounced in very different ways.

Perfect for: brain breaks, bell ringers, fast finishers, a team race game, Fun Friday, or any time your students need a break but you still want them doing something meaningful. A fun break that gets them thinking? That's a win-win! ❤️Love word ladders? Grab the Big Bundle!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What teachers are saying:

  • I LOVE this resource! I was able to use the scaffolded supports and use the clues for one student and the one without clues for another. Great for vocab building!

  • I used this resource as a teacher lead activity during a reading rotation. It was brilliant. The clues got everyone thinking and it was interesting to see who guessed the word first. The ladder puzzles are clear and easy to read. What a well thought out resource.

  • These are great for morning work! My kiddos love helping each other fill in their missing blanks if they have any, its an engaging and meaningful activity.

  • OMG these are probably my favorite purchase of this school year! My 5th graders, especially my gifted students, LOVE these puzzles. They beg me to do them daily and it makes a great "may do" option during our ELA/Reading block. I purchased the second set right away. Please make more!! Thank you!
