Mrs Wordsmith Phonics Blah Blah Blah Card Game, Kindergarten & Grades 1-2: Accelerate Every Child's Reading

I played this today with one of my groups and it was such a success! The group stayed engaged and even I wasn't bored out of my mind waiting for them to take turns as I am with other reading card games.The game has a peppy pace and the wild cards make it interesting as they started to strategize as they played as well. Some fierce funny rivalries broke out.The levels of the game are really going to depend on the sequence of skills in your program. Personally I find the hard deck actually the medium as vowel pairs are more unique patterns to remember an often introduced later than digraphs (the, sh, ch, etc.) and the floss rule in almost every program I know of. Good news is I can easily adapt to my needs by pulling cards.Overall a hit I can't wait to try with other groups. I agree with the criticism I saw in the comments as there isn't a lot of sounds differentiate to practice between the levels. I would loved to have seen more variety. Its still good value for em as I will continuously reuse it with groups, but for a single kid the replayability may be more limited. There are a lot of wild cards but in my opinion that helped the game consistently be moving. I think this also plays out better in larger groups (4 or more) as in a smaller setting it would become tedious. Easily fixed by pulling them out

Lot of fun. Students beg to play this game over and over. Has a variety of skills and levels.

My son adores this game, and it is a great reinforcement of phonics skills. The QR codes on the back of the cards are super helpful to ensure accurate pronunciation of sounds.

My Granddaughter had this set and I was absolutely amazed watching her reading skills. I ordered a set for my Great Niece & Great Nephew to help them with their reading skills.

We played this game at a family game night for my first grader's reading class. It was so much fun for all of us, even my preschooler that we had to order it. It has similarities to uno. It's a card game with specialty cards (draw four, skip a turn, etc.). The main cards have words on them and you are supposed to read the words. I really think it has helped both of my girls pick up on reading more. Definitely recommend for families with those learning to read or early readers and classrooms as well. There are three different decks you can play with depending on what level you want to use.

easy to learn/play, simple for children to play on their own, has several game play options to change it up and make it more challenging.

This game is so fun! All my students from 2nd to 5th grade love to play it. They are learning so much when theybare playing together while helping each other as well.I have recommended and lent out this game to many colleagues.

I am a reading specialist and I work with kids who have dyslexia. They have a great time with these syllable review cards. One set of cards has CVC words, another has ai, digraphs and trigraphs, and the last set has various vowel teams. I would LOVE another set that has additional syllable types: VCe, -cle, etc. My kids need lots of review with VCe. Thanks!
