Word Work: Scrabble Tile Spelling

Here is another option during our class' Daily 5 Word Work: Scrabble Tile Spelling.

Students use Scrabble letter tiles to spell and add up their word's point value.

One thing I noticed was that letter tiles are VERY expensive! They are popular for crafts, so therefore their price is pretty steep for a D5 center item (for me).

You have a few options:

• a classroom/schoolwide all-call for extra tiles
• garage sales 
• thrift stores 
• create your own by printing out the letter tiles pdf on cardstock (3 A-Z sets are included in the Scrabble Tile Packet in my TpT Store)
• Protiles- an AMAZING company that LOVES working with teachers

I went through Protiles and got the amazing sets that are pictured above- four of them at a discounted teacher price- yay! I barely have time to do laundry, so rummaging through our city's thrift stores and/or garage sales was not on the agenda. I was happy to pay and received some top-quality tiles in complete sets :)

When kids use any of these tiles to build their words, I have them record their answers on the Scrabble Tile Worksheet:

I printed out several of these on cardstock and laminated them so students can use a white board marker to show their work and simply erase it when they have shown me- super easy and less waste!

I love this center for similar reasons to Word Worth- it is so great to have kids practice their spelling and necessary math skills all at the same time! Plus, the addends are all small in this activity, so it's a great way to practice mental math, adding more than 3 addends, counting on, and more!
