How do we use Tic Tac Toe as a spelling activity?
As a spelling activity, Tic Tac Toe is slightly different but still enjoyable! The students take turns and use different color pens. The first player picks a word from the list, then writes it into their chosen square. The second player does the same. The first player to get three of their words in a row wins!
How does Tic Tac Toe help with learning to read?
Learning spelling is a critical component of Science of Reading. An increasing body of research indicates that a research-based spelling curriculum assists children in developing Phonemic Awareness (PA) and phonics skills, which contributes to reading and writing fluency later in life. Learning to spell helps children read and write more effectively.
