Phonics Games & Materials:
Phonics FlipCards
Phonics FlipCards help students easily and confidently read words with short vowels. Students use the cards to create and read both real and nonsense words. Reading nonsense words serves two purposes. One is to prepare students to read multi-syllabic words because the syllables in longer words are often nonsense words. Another purpose is to ensure that students can recognize and read the CVC and VC closed syllable, short vowel spelling patterns.

Phonics Dice Kits:

Used to guide language study review, create a game, or add a little pizzaz to a lesson that has grown stale, the Phonics Dice Kit comes with a booklet, providing a number of suggestions for activities in both the language tutorial and classroom settings. In addition, it comes with simple game cards and plastic cover disks in 5 colors (for up to 5 players).
