 Introduction
The Scrambled Word BuildingTM Activity Book offers a fun and exciting way for children to learn to
spell and read. This book is designed to be used as either homework assigned by a teacher, or with a
parent. Before sending the activities home as homework, it would be helpful to go through an activity
or two with the class as a whole, so children will know how to complete the activities.

Each activity in this book consists of four parts:

Look For: At the top of the activity page, children are provided with a set of letters
to work with. The same letters are printed in boxes across the side of the
activity sheet. Children will cut these letters out and manipulate them
to build the words. These letters will be used to form as many words as
possible. Eventually, all the letters will be used to make the “Scrambled
c a t Word.” Note: If you are using this activity book at home, we have included
two complete alphabet letter sets. These letters can be used instead
of cutting the letters on each activity page. We have also included an
envelope at the end of the book to store the letters that have been used.

Build It: The Build It section prompts the child to write down the words they have
c a t built. The blank lines, ranging from 2-6 letter word possibilities, indicate
the number of letters needed to spell each word. Note: There may be
more words that can be built than the number of blank spaces available.
As the child decodes and builds several words, they will figure out the
“Scrambled Word” by using all the letters in the activity. Parents and
teachers are encouraged to get involved and help with this section, as some
c
a t
third graders may find this to be a challenge.

c a t On:
Focus This section provides extra word building practice by having the children
focus on identifying the words they have built from the scrambled word
and placing those new words in their appropriate category. The categories
focus on blends, vowel patterns, silent “e” words, and alphabetizing. For
extra practice, children should be encouraged to discover additional words
that fit into each category.

Challenge: This is a suggested activity or question related to the word that the activity
focuses on. Some of these Challenge activities will require the simple
knowledge of the scrambled word, while others will require a small amount
of research. Any research should be able to be done on a computer, in an
encyclopedia, or in a dictionary. The research should not take more than a
few minutes and can be used as a way to learn more about the scrambled
word or to enrich the child’s knowledge.

If this is to be used as homework, allow the children to check their own activity sheets in class.
Children can share words they have built, compare their words with those of their classmates, and
share the answers to the Challenge questions. Encourage children to have fun exploring and building
new words!
