My students LOVE doing these during Daily 5 for Word Work! They are introduced whole group – along with our weekly phonics skill and then placed in the independent word work activity bin for review. I LOVE all of the BLISS activities!! Thank you for these wonderful resources!!

Loving it so far!! I purchased this later in the year and plan to use it during my weekly center rotation. So far the students LOVE building the words via Seesaw. It makes for an excellent center because they can check their work as they build each word. I love the audio on the Seesaw as well. The student have a little tricky time with the worksheet letter scramble because they keep wanting to glue the letters, despite how many times I tell them to WRITE the words! haha Thank you!

I love using this resource in Google Classroom. It is interactive and the self-checking feature provides instant feedback to the student. The audio feature is great and I appreciate that it uses the word in a sentence so the students hear the word in context. If there were more for other spelling patterns I would buy them.
