WHO ARE THESE GAMES FOR?
These activities are designed for students in the middle to late stages of the Syllables and Affixes stage who often make spelling errors with silent consonants and with words that make the /k/ and /f/ sounds using patterns like ck, ic, x, qu, ph, and gh.
Developed primarily for 3rd–5th graders, these resources can also be used in lower grades within small group lessons with teacher guidance. Because all games and activities across Unit 7 use similar formats, you only have to teach students how to play once — then enjoy the consistency and versatility all year long!
