Pop-It Word Work Activiy

Encourage your little ones to enjoy spelling practise with this 'pop-it' inspired word work activity. Pop-its are a popular fidget toy that many children will be familiar with. 

How to Use this Word Work Activity:

1. Provide your child with a variety of tricky words that are 5 letters long
2. Ask your child to fill in the circles on the pop-it with each letter in the tricky word
3. After they have written their words they can design their own pop-it by adding colours and patterns to the background
4. Once they finish, display their artwork where they can see it every day

This activity is suitable for kids of all ages and abilities because you can choose which words to practise. In the beginning, providing written words for them to refer to while practising spelling can be helpful.

Benefits of Word Work Activities:

This word work activity is particularly beneficial as they will be required to look carefully at the number of letters in the spelling in order to fit them into the pop-it correctly. 

When your young learners practice writing their spelling words repeatedly and often, it can improve their ability to remember those spellings. This is especially crucial for tricky words that can't be easily sounded out using phonics. Word work activities provide a way to reinforce spelling practice and should be included as part of a comprehensive approach to learning.
