Thank you for taking The Wonders of Word Play workshop!
I hope you enjoyed it and discovered some new ideas to take back to your classroom.
Below you will find various sight word related links, my game/activity templates (towards the bottom of this page) and other activity ideas mentioned in the workshop...
and some more that I just couldn't fit into the presentation!
There are also many articles and blogs linked below that might help you (as collected artifacts) if you choose to do word study as a student learning or professional practice goal.
Happy word play and enjoy your school year!

The Daily 5
https://www.thedailycafe.com/
Much of my word play is done during my literacy block, which is based off The Daily 5.
If you are interested in learning more about The Daily 5,
the sisters' web page is featured above and the latest book edition photo is featured to the left.
It is a quick read. I highly recommend it! This book changed how I structure my ELA time, engaged as well as empowered my students and I have never looked back.
Find the book here on Amazon.
