Expand-a-Word {Vocabulary Word Building Activity}

This word building activity will be loved by all your students!
Expand-a-word is a word work activity I created to "expand" my students' collection of words.

Students will make as many words as they can by inserting letters in front, in between, and behind the three letters, without rearranging the order of the three letters.

Can be used for whole class or small group instruction, partners, individually, centers, enrichment homework, engaging 5 minute filler.

Perfect opportunity to introduce plurals, base words, prefixes/suffixes, spelling patterns, and new vocabulary!

Resource includes
90 Expand-a-Words Cards
Student Recording Sheets
Directions/Tips Page
Sample Page With Answers
