SCRUZZLE On!
Scruzzles enable your students to master graphophonics.
You want your students to be actively engaged in learning, don't you?You want an activity that challenges your students and also teaches reading and spelling skills, don't you?
Of course you do. Every classroom teacher on this planet wants their students to be actively involved in learning. But passive teaching just doesn't cut it any more. Your students need
DOING
ACTIVITIES! We all know that students need to DO something to stay engaged. Bring on Scruzzles.
Scruzzles are Thinking Students' Puzzles
Scruzzles are DOING and LEARNING activities.
The premise is simple. Students need to be proficient at graphophonics to master language.
Students needs to be able to:
👉 Recognise letter patterns that work together.
👉 Sound out consonant blends.
👉 Understand vowel blends in context.
👉 Understand that vowel sounds are different in different words.
👉 Make decisions based on likely graphic patterns.
👉 Learn spelling possibilities.
👉 Group vowels and consonants in possible patterns.
👉 Understand structure and phonics work together.
👉 Make judgements based on letter combinations.
👉 Spell
👉 Read
Students need Scruzzles.
Doing & Thinking
Students start with a sheet which they need to cut into tiles. As they do, they will be planning on how to put the tiles together. There is a problem solving approach and they are DOING and THINKING.
Learning
Each tile contains elements of words.
Students will look at each tile and predict the graphophonic nature of the tile and then look at patterns of the other to tiles.
They are LEARNING and PROBLEM SOLVING.
Learning, Doing and Patterning
Using graphophonic skills, students manoeuvre each tile into a grid to make a list of horizontal words.
This takes a new approach as the students grapple forming new words.
These are the most popular APPS on Google Play for good reason.
They engage people while they are LEARNING
& DOING
Learning and Succeeding
Students glue the grid of completed horizontal words into their books. (DOING)
Learning and Success
Once the grid is completed the you can apply any variation you desire.
👉 Use each word in a sentence.
👉 Place the words in alphabetical order
👉 Write a definition for each word
👉 Do another more complex scruzzle
👉 You can apply hundreds of alternatives.
The complete Scrumble series of booklets is now available!
