What is the purpose of this product?

• Students need practice decoding words with a particular phonics pattern. When students are just starting to work on words with s-blends, the word ‘strawberry’ shouldn’t be in that packet! I believe that words should be 100% decodable, so when you purchase any of the resources from this line, you will only find words that are decodable.

What makes these games unique?

I get it. There’s TONS of phonics games out there. However, I’ve carefully created these games to be:

• 100% decodable (each unit builds on previous units)
• Systematic (You can find 8 total units of these games from CVC words to R Controlled vowels)

What do you mean they are systematic?

• Each unit builds on previous units. If students can read CVC words, they are ready for unit 2 which is short vowel blends. When you get to unit 3, students will see short vowel digraphs and the words may also include some blends as well. You can have students working on whatever unit is appropriate for their needs.

How can I use these games for differentiation?

In total, this line of resources includes 8 units all of which come in 4 seasons and one year-round resource. Every season of every unit is IDENTICAL, except the words are changed. This means, you can easily group students by the phonics skills they need and then give them all the same game but with different words. For instance, every student in the room can be playing the gem mining board game, but the words they use will be different. No group will realize that their words are easier or harder than the other groups!

How much prep is required for this resource?

• Every game in this resource is no-prep (just print and go!) or low prep using straight line cuts. I’ve made these games as easy as possible for teachers. After a quick trip to the paper cutter, you are ready to go.
