Word ladders activities offer children the opportunity to play with words and language while building reading and spelling skills. Children increase their vocabulary, too, as they use clues to determine new words and gain confidence, rung by rung. Word ladders are loads of fun, too! How do word ladders work? Start with the word on the bottom rung of each ladder. Add, delete, or change one to two letters on each rung above. Use the clues to determine the new word. Write in the missing letter or letters in the blank boxes. Continue working your way up the ladder until you reach the top! If you get stuck, just check the answer key in the back! Our Word Ladder Challenge Workbook for Grades 4-5 includes riddle clues as part of the fun on every fifth ladder page throughout. Workbook includes 60 word ladders! Full color throughout. Thick, quality paper supports crayons, pencils, markers, and more. Pages are perforated for easy removal. Pages are reproducible, too. Sturdy paperback binding. Activity book measures 8-1/2'' wide by 11'' high. 68 pages. Happy climbing!

The Advanced Vocabulary Challenge I Needed
I bought this for my seven-year-old to complete as part of his morning routine in our homeschool. Over half of each ladder consists of grade-level words, but there is some challenging vocabulary mixed in as well!The clues are twofold and consist of a) instructions to change certain letters and b) a definition. Part A can be somewhat confusing as reading terms such as "blend" and "digraph" are used; these are defined in the front of the workbook but are not a part of many elementary students' working vocabulary. My son, however, is largely able to figure out the part of the word that needs to be changed. I need to offer a clue for probably 1-2 words per ladder, and he ends up learning a few new words each week. Perfect!

Great book!
Great book! My son wanted to buy this for his teacher for a present. She has another Word Ladders book and he wanted more options for the classroom. This one is great; has good clues and is challenging enough to help kids work through vocabulary and spelling rules.

Great way to boost spelling and vocabulary!
I really like this Word Ladder Challenge book! It’s a fun way for kids to strengthen their spelling skills and boost vocabulary. Each word ladder challenge can be completed in less than 10 minutes. The clues build upon the previous words encouraging critical thinking. The grade level seems appropriate, and the format keeps learning fun and interactive.
