Editable games for word work centers makes it so easy to differentiate your word lists for young learners. I wish I had thought of this years ago!

Instead, I’d spend more than 30 minutes of my valuable morning prep. time reviewing last week’s words and making this week’s centers.

Organizing word cards, handwritten of course, and games (words written in blank spaces) all the while watching the clocking thinking I still have to prepare for math groups.

Some kids were working through their Dolch list words while others were on spelling word lists. There was no way I could use the same words for each activity. Everyone was on a different list!

I needed a variety of activities that could target each child at their level and I needed each activity to be engaging. Because if it wasn’t, the purpose of the center was lost and now it was just about managing behavior not learning sight words or spelling.

Sight word games that are editable are perfect for creating fun centers or stations for your kindergarten or first grade students. With 36 different games in this pack, you will have a wide range of sight word, phonics, spelling or word work games you can create in seconds! It is easy to create differentiated centers for all your students. #sightwords #editablesightwords #kindergarten #spelling #wordwork #sightwordgames #spellinggame

Differentiation is Easy

I was spending way too much time individualizing for each child, keeping their learning at their level. I needed something better. I HAD to make a change.

Centers needed to be made quickly with the words that my kids needed.

I need the option of black ink only games that I could send home for extra practice.

I needed card games and board games.

But they weren’t out there. There was nothing that could help me quickly and easily make all the differentiated resources I needed.

The only thing to do was to design the games myself.

Editable sight word games can be used for spelling words, theme words, phonics

Preparation is Quick

It’s super easy to prepare each of the 38 editable games included in this pack.

Just enter the student’s sight words (high-frequency words, or any list of words) into the editable field.  Use the linked menu to go to the game you want and print it out. Save under that child’s or group’s name and reload the game to clear the field. So easy!
