Set of 5  PRINTABLE "Crazy Cards for Starters" Phonics Card Games:
 
These 5 Crazy Shorts FOR STARTERS reading card games help children (ages 4 and up) learn to read words that contain SHORT VOWEL spelling patterns in the English language. 
 
These decks have been carefully structured by an experienced teacher, dyslexia interventionist, and structured literacy coach, and have been used with enthusiasm from thousands of teachers for over 2 decades.
 
Each deck in this set provides students with needed practice in reading words that contain SHORT vowels. Not only that, but they also provide oral language practice by getting students to make up (crazy) sentences after playing a card - which is much more challenging than it seems! (and yet also the most enjoyable part of the game)

It's a win-win-win game!
