Description

Practice blending and reading CVC words, CCVC words, and CVCC words using our Snakes and Ladders game.

Children roll the dice and move their counter around the board.
They read the word they land on (and can practice writing it down on a whiteboard as well).
If they land on the red ladder, they go down, but if they land on the green ladder, they go up.

Use this resource as a reading activity, with your guided reading group, or as a whole class activity to practice reading CVC words, CCVC words, and CVCC words.

This resource contains:

3 CVC Snakes and Ladders game boards
3 CCVC Snakes and Ladders game boards
3 CVCC Snakes and Ladders game boards

These activities align with the Science of Reading (SoR). This resource is a practical addition to your structured literacy programme. Activities link directly to the Common Core (Grade 3-6) and the New Zealand Literacy Progressions.
