158-word cards & 16 actions cards (skip, draw 2, draw 4, wild)

We play with cards face up, and it is improving their reading skills. This gives the group a chance to help each other when they spot a match, and it keeps everyones attention on reading the words.

Teachers tip – The colored groups make it easy sort and to use these as flashcards. I will often introduct just the er sounds together ( er, ur, ir) and students are suprised how quickly they can read now that they know how to decode with the 3 different spellings that all make the same sound.
