These 5 Crazy Longs reading card games help children (ages 5 and up) learn to read words that contain LONG 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. They are also Marnie Ginsberg's (Reading Simplified) favourite set!
 
Each deck in this set provides students with needed practice in reading words that contain LONG 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) 
 
And finally, these reading card games will show students how to strategize to win the game. They love trying to figure out which card to play so they can win!
 
It's a win-win-win game!
