Primary Junior Language Arts/Literacy

Played just like the popular card game "Crazy 8's", this set of 5 different decks of cards will help students develop speaking, listening, vocabulary, and decoding skills in a way that will not only guarantee higher levels of reading achievement, but also endless hours of fun! Helps children learn to read words that contain short vowel word families. This set is terrific for differentiation as there are simple cvc words, and words that contain more advanced spelling patterns (but all with short vowels). The Original Crazy Shorts has been around since 1998, and gives students lots of practice with word-reading (for those who need mastery or reinforcement), and interesting vocabulary to challenge ALL students - even those who need acceleration. Great for diverse learners (students with dyslexia, English language learners, ADHD, DLD, etc.).--Sound Readers.
