Get BundleThese crazy phonics card games use the science of reading to help kids who need extra practice with nonsense word decoding strategies and syllable division rules. In Crazy Words, players must read single-syllable nonsense words to get rid of their cards. And in Crazy Nonsense Words 2 - Multisyllable Edition, players must use decoding skills to read multisyllable nonsense words correctly.
Both games are great for providing practice with syllable division rules, syllable types, and decoding skills. Plus, they're just plain fun! So if you're looking for a fun way to help your kids brush up on their phonics skills, grab this bundle of Crazy Words card games today.
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. 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.
The decoding skills used in these words include syllable division, v-e syllables, closed syllables, open syllables, r-controlled syllables, le syllables, vowel teams, short vowel sounds, consonants, digraphs, CVC words, the sounds of am and an, the ll,ss,ff spelling rule, the suffix s, blends, and welded sounds (ing, ang, ong, ung, ink, ank, onk, and unk).

I use this resource regularly as a fun way for my students to practice reading words in isolation as we practice our phonics skills. The kids always love to play this game. The only thing that would make it better is including phrases or sentences.

Debra J.
Grades taught: 3rd, 4th, 5th
My students love playing this game during our morning ELA rotations! I teach in a grade 1/2/3 split, so the fact that there are multiple levels is wonderful. All ages enjoy it immensely, and often it is the first game out of the tubs. I also use it during teacher time with students, often to help figure out which phonics skill to focus on next with an individual or group of students. I've also used the blank cards to create another deck of only CVC nonsense words for my emergent readers. Thanks so for a great resource!
