The content of these decks of cards is designed for productive reading practice, targeting the critical elements of sound reading instruction: phonemic awareness, alphabetics, fluency, morphology and vocabulary.

Play is the best teacher - the engaging card routines have kids “begging” to play. Competition and laughter are part of every round. The multi-sensory reading practice is fun and reinforces reading instruction in lively rounds of card play. You will be amazed at the serious amount of “smart” play in the card games.

Games will appeal to a variety readers:

• Adult literacy students
• and basically anyone who wants to have some fun!

Teachers and tutors can use in the classroom as well as tutoring sessions. A deck fits into a pocket or a purse for use in planes, trains, and automobiles as well as at restaurants, the doctors’ offices, waiting rooms, and parks.

A myriad of extensions for variations of play are available - see the 'Free Stuff' tab under each set of cards in the set. Here you will find “easier” as well as ”more challenging” play routines geared for all ages and abilities. Thanks to the speech and language background of the authors, you will also find a wealth of alternative games that directly address phonology, morphology, vocabulary, syntax, and pragmatics. They cover both receptive and expressive language and all modalities: listening, talking, reading and writing.
