I love all the differentiation. Used for test-based vocab words as morning work. My kids loving looking for words in the dictionary or online. Even if they hear a word repeated later, they will say, "That was our word of the day!".

I loved this resource

My third grades had to sound out the word (finger stretch) and count the phonemes and then write the word. Breaking the words into it's parts was a great way to work on our word of the day with our reading program.
