Phonic Decoding Syllabication Card Game - Mission to Mars
As a Reading Specialist, I work with students who struggle with decoding and syllabication or breaking words into manageable chunks. Practicing nonsense words is a proven strategy for improving this skill. Poor decoders can be second-language learners: ELL or ELD, know less vocabulary, get lost within words, use onset only and guess at the rest of the word, or simply timid readers.
While playing this game children play independently and don’t worry about getting the word correct, they just want

Whatchamacallit? A Context Clues Board Game
Is there any such thing as too many practice activities for context clues? I think we can all agree on “No!” as the answer to that question. While there are many activities available for practicing context clues, I find most of them are either too easy for older learners (who still need a lot of context clue practice and review) or use made-up words that confuse my English language learners. This board game allows students to practice context clues using real words that seem made up. All of the
