I love how differentiated this resource is for phonics. I can let my students know what skill I want them to practice, and they work on it!

My second graders love using Toothy. Using toothy has made my literacy centers fun and engaging. I love that students get to review and work on the skill of the week. I highly recommend it.

My students love the Toothy games. I love how they are self-correcting and that the students can get competitive about the topics. We used this during centers time and they used whiteboards to do their work.
Carrie K. –
My students use this during centers to practice their phonics and spelling patterns. They absolutely love it. I even bought the digital version of it so we could play whole group. It is super easy to differentiate for students working at different levels as well.

I love using these for small group work. They are super easy to grab and go with my students – not having to prep centers has been AMAZING.

Yes! A phonics resource to back-up my spelling and grammar program, that my students are able to use either independently or with minimal support. Celebrating each win with a tooth is just such an engaging way to practise and hone skills. Love this!

Everything is adorable! I love the variety of activities and how easy the prep is. I used this for when I am done activities in the classroom for my higher students, but could easily be centers.

This resource is fantastic for reading/phonics stations and small group work! I love how it is broken down by sound and skill so I can align the resource with our scope and sequence.
Brandy M. –
I use this resource as a Word Work activity in stations. It keeps the students engaged and also requires students to use what we have learned independently.
Jennifer C. –
Very easy to prep and laminate to keep in small bins! My students loved using these as morning work because they could grab what they needed work on and double check answers when needed!

Melissa G. –
Toothy games are such a simple concept, but they are engaging for the students every time. I love that I can assign differentiated topics, but the kids all play the same game.
Ashley C. –
I’ve used these primarily in small groups for phonics review. The students are engaged and do not feel like they are reviewing something below second-grade level even though they have peers that are working above their particular level.
kristyn G. –
my students LOVE this! They are learning and having fun at the same time. They love adding the little teeth and seeing how much they’ve learned. I like this resource because its easy to use takes little to no setup and the kids are learning a lot!
kaitlyn L. –
These resources help my students with phonics when I am helping others in other areas when I can not be with everyone all of the time. They are being independent and they are loving them. There are so many resources and topics for them to choose from.

I started printing these and putting them together to have all the prep work done this summer before school started. My daughter who is in kindergarten saw them and asked to do the work! She absolutely loved it!
Teaching Through the Madness –
My kids were so engaged with this resource! They always looked forward to me pulling out these activities. They were able to do these independently, in pairs, or in both small and whole group settings, so there are many ways to use this. Definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a fun resource to use with their students.
Melissa E. –
Toothy is extremely engaging! It’s wonderful to have a way for kids to practice their skills and them not even realize they’re learning/practicing because they are having so much fun.
Madison M. –
I can honestly say this is one of the most useful resources I’ve ever purchased from TPT. I’ve used it for years in so many different ways: as a whole class activity, in small groups, as independent practice and as a partner game. My students really love the game aspect, and I love that it gets them to apply what we have learned in phonics independently.
Alison Marsh –
OMG I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR THIS! I am SO happy I was able to get this during the sale. As a first year teacher, I have really struggled to teach phonics appropriately using things other than worksheets. I cannot wait to implement this and have students do this when they finish work early. It’s also great because I already own the math ones so I’m happy that it will be easy to introduce. Thank thank you!! If you have any other phonics teaching advice or curriculum recommendations I would love to hear it!
