In this one time class students will learn how to play the spelling game word ladder.  The way we will play the game is I will give a three or four letter word for the start of the game (ex. Dog), then we will take turns adding to the ladder. Each student will get a turn to make a new word.  Only one letter can be changed each turn. If students are struggling coming up with a new word I will give them hints. The game continues until noone can make a new word.  Another rule is no repeat...
