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.
