Differentiating is a breeze with this October writing center. If you're kids have mastered transferring, or copying, words correctly, you can challenge them to write a sentence using the vocabulary word at the top of the worksheet.
As a bonus, all of my Making Words writing centers also come with Illustrated Word Cards! I love to display these cards in a writing center, on a monthly themed bulletin board, and put them on a binder ring to keep in a themed writing center. They are also great for pocket chart activities!
