The Word Ladder Challenge

This is a collection of 12 no preparation tasks designed as a starter in KS3 English. Each challenge requires the pupils to “decode” and rank basic clues to identify the words needed to complete the word ladder. Each task is also supported by a printer friendly monochrome version to support cover work or an extension/enrichment task. The presentation also includes a printable blank “template” slide to allow pupils to peer challenge each other and create their own tasks. The whole presentation contains 40 slides with over 100 embedded hyperlinks to facilitate ease of navigation.
