Say hello 
to making word study a *shockingly* enjoyable time of the school day...
with the Engaged Spelling Game Center Library, a game and activity for every word study concept you teach 
!
You KNOW that if you had the right games and activities at your fingertips, half the struggle
of implementing game centers
and teaching word study would be gone! 
Not having to figure out which pages of a 200 page document need cardstock, which ones need to go in your teacher binder, and which ones you'll need to make multiple copies of for your students. I've built printing-with-ease into the structure of the ES Library.
If you are DONE trying to piece together your word study centers like a game of Jenga,
DONE trudging up the ladder from Google to Pinterest to Teachers Pay Teachers looking for the perfect center game to complement this week's skill (for every spelling group you have) only to find yourself slipping back down the chute to "START OVER" by Friday, 
EXHAUSTED trying to keep your students as driven with their independent centers as claw machine players trying to win a stuffed animal,
And DONE being the leader of SIMON SAYS while trying to lead word study small groups...("SIMON DIDN'T SAY THAT!" 
)...
"I used this resource to support a lesson from Words-Their-Way. After having my students complete the typical closed sort and providing direct instruction of the spelling pattern, I used this game as a way for the student to practice applying the vowel pattern to words outside of the sort. The resource was colorful and engaging. I am a repeat buyer of these resources that support Words Their Way lessons!"
Partner Games and Independent Activities
>>> These games and activities are engaging, can be used in small groups, as partner games, or independently for students who need solo work. They require minimal materials once printed and prepped.
177 word study concepts for a total of 354 centers with 59 more concepts on the way!
Time-saving Organization
>>> The Engaged Spelling Library is intentionally organized to maximize your planning time and reduce unnecessary time spent thumbing through pages and pages of activities (and writing down the pages you need to print on a sticky note 
).
I've stripped the PDFs down to the minimal pages needed to implement games and activities. No more trying to figure out which pages are for color printing or black and white and wracking your brain to print what you need.
The Tools You Need for Success
>>> You'll find recommended word study schedules, pre and post assessment lists, center organization labels for group bins and game folders, compact pacing guides, and MORE!
You can 
increase engagement in
word study and spelling
AND save planning time 
!
you are a teacher, homeschooling parent, or interventionist who wants to implement games and hands-on activities into your word study and spelling routines.
You've likely dabbled in implementing a word study routine and you are ready to go all in with at least 1 center based activity for each word list or concept your students study.
You may or may not be familiar with Words Their Way, but you are looking forward to implementing a word study program that is focused on letter sounds and patterns, pattern recognition, phonics, and spelling skills in a hands-on, developmentally appropriate and engaging way.
You are in charge of planning and cultivating resources for your own word study and spelling program.
You want resources that grow with your students at your fingertips.
You are ready to go beyond worksheets and word sorting…
And, you have likely used word study games before and already know that you want to go ALL IN to implement word study game centers this year!
Welcome home!
you've never implemented centers before AND are looking for the EASIEST WAY to get started with a word study program. (If that's you, please email me and ask "What's the EASIEST way to GET STARTED with a word study routine?" I'll reply back with some resources!).
You have to follow a district pacing guide or textbook that is not based on teaching spelling patterns.
You are not currently interested in implementing differentiated word study instruction where you'll need access to multiple levels of word study word lists and activities.
You "can't even" when it comes to preparing games and centers for your students (NO JUDGMENT HERE! Some years are like that!)
You're not really concerned about student engagement during word study.
You're worried about having too much to print and not enough resources for printing.
You thrive in the hunt of the Pinterest, Google, Teachers Pay Teachers rabbit hole when trying to find quality word study resources.
