Spelling Spiders

Spelling Spiders Missing Letters - This is a literacy based activity that can be used again and again. There are twelve pre prepared slides that each has a bug related word of varying length and difficulty. The pupils are to write down what letter they think the missing one is before it is revealed by the spelling spider. A good way of assessing progress of the class is to use have the class hold up there answers thus giving a snapshot of your classes levels.

To change to words follow these steps;

Choose a new word with 3,4,5 or 6 letters.

Find one of the spider slides that have the same length word as your new word.

Delete each letter and write your own letters in with a ‘?’ in the space for the missing letter/s.

Put the missing letter/s in the speech bubble at the bottom of the page.
