Description

Crazy Words is a colorful phonics game that practices decoding strategies and improves nonsense word fluency. Players try to match color or letter to get rid of their cards while decoding nonsense words with CVC patterns, digraphs, blends, suffix s, and welded sounds. A set of editable cards is included.

Players practice identifying letters and blending sounds to decode words. Cards may also be used as flashcards or as a matching game activity. This game provides differentiated instruction for tutoring sessions, general classroom use, homeschool, and special education.

Word cards were created using EZRead Kids Font made for dyslexic readers and students that learn differently. This game can be used as extra practice for students using any Orton Gillingham-based reading program.

We love these games! Students love the format, of course, but also have fun with the silly words. I love that they get to have some great practice decoding and think it's a treat!

My students have fun playing this game in their small reading groups. I found that it does require an adult to monitor so that students are reading the words correctly.

In a small group setting this a great activity for practicing this skill and also keeping students interested. Students say the words on the cards out loud making it easy to listen to assess their work.

My students had so much fun playing this game. They loved the fact that it was just like uno that they play at home, but it had words on it instead. They were engaged the whole time. Great resource.
