I Don’t Want To Go!

Worksheet Description

The “I Don’t Want to Go!” Word Ladders worksheet is a puzzle that starts with the name “Ben” at the bottom rung. Students are tasked with changing one letter in “Ben” to create a new word that fits the clue given alongside the next rung of the ladder. They continue this process, following the clues and changing one letter at each step, moving up the ladder to discover the final word. This final word will reveal the place that Ben does not want to go to.

The worksheet is aimed at improving students’ spelling abilities by requiring them to concentrate on how altering a single letter changes the word. It also serves to enhance their vocabulary by introducing them to new words that fit the given clues. The sequential nature of the exercise fosters logical thinking and problem-solving skills as students must determine the correct letter change to progress. Additionally, the worksheet engages students in phonics practice, as they must consider the sounds that letters make within the context of different words.
