First reading words games

This allows students to become even more automatic with the known words, and to focus their mental energy on just a few new words. Preparation: Write one high frequency word on each of cards. You can repeat a new word times. You want them to read the word quickly, rather thank thinking slowly about the word.

If they read the word within seconds, the card goes in their pile. If they miss, it goes in your pile. Or for another option, when they are slow to name the word, you can tuck it back in the pile for a second chance. The winner is the person with the most cards. This is a game where the student typically wins! Preparation: Create decks for each player, with cards per deck.

Write a high frequency word on each card — you can repeat some targeted words. Instead of using the same color for all cards, use different markers or cards to sort the cards more easily after the game. How to Play: First, shuffle each deck of cards. Players turn over their top card and read the card quickly. Then they check to see if another player has the same word. Play until all players have read their cards.

How to Play: Play the tic tac toe game using high frequency words instead of X and O. Encourage the student to write the word quickly and efficiently. You might write the two words above the game board as a model of correct spelling.
