Climb the Word Ladder Wednesday Challenge!
Ready to give your brain a workout?
Start with the first word on top and change just one letter at a time to make a new word — keep going until you reach the last word! Use the clues as hints to find out what the new word will be. Can you solve the whole ladder?
Word ladders are a fantastic way to build vocabulary, spelling skills, and have a little fun along the way!
Give it a try and share your list by placing it in the box outside of the ARI room! We will do our next drawing on Thursday afternoon!
