Word Bingo Provides sight words on different levels - Kindergarten – Third grade Students log in Ability to practice sight words or play Bingo game Pro - Teacher can track students’ progress Con - Allows Kindergarteners to select Third grade level

Montessori Crosswords General spelling practice Includes crossword feature - Students have to identify overlapping letters Students can also focus on different sounds or spelling patterns
