Activity

In the activity below, Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 words will appear one at a time in a random order. There are 45 words total. Drag each word to its proper bin and drop it. If the word is correctly placed, a checkmark will appear, followed by a new word to drag and drop. If the word is incorrectly dropped, it will simply pop back to its original position for you to try again. You will be notified when the activity is complete. Have fun!
