Word Ladder Template

Create your own word ladders.

Word ladders are a powerful tool for strengthening phonic (orthographic) mapping, spelling patterns, and word decoding skills while reinforcing close attention to how words are formed. Reusable word ladder formats (for 8 or 10 rungs) allow teachers to create targeted lessons focused on sound, spelling, and meaning changes across words. This printable template from Tim Rasinski:

• builds flexible word-solving strategies

• reinforces phonics and orthographic patterns

• encourages close attention to how words change.
