This game targets a niche group. It's those students who need phonemic development at this level and exhibit dyslexic characteristics with the intelligence that doesn't match their reading level. Worksheets are not the answer.

The game is similar to UNO with a strategic element that keeps students highly motivated to play and that's just what these students need - lots of exposure to the words they need to learn. They probably won't get enough practice through reading, and worksheets can get very boring. Make sure they are saying the words they are playing or they won't be getting the full benefit from the game.

To add a bit of variety to this phase of skill development try my STACK 4 game which is also pivoted towards this group who have so much potential to unlock.
