What’s Inside This Game-Packed Resource
🎲 Seven Interactive Board Games
Each game targets a specific phonics skill or syllable type, helping students internalize decoding rules through hands-on, play-based learning. The six types of syllables are all addressed:
- Closed Syllables – In Puppy Party 1 and Puppy Party 2, students practice short vowel sounds in both simple and more advanced closed-syllable words.
- Open Syllables – Reinforced throughout as learners identify long vowel sounds at the end of syllables.
- Silent E Syllables – Practiced across several games that require word pattern recognition.
- R-Controlled Syllables – R-Combinations Sport Challenge provides focused practice with tricky r-controlled vowels like ar, er, ir, or, and ur.
- Consonant -LE Syllables – Included in Syllable Dragon, where students identify and differentiate between all six syllable types.
- Vowel Teams and Diphthongs – Flutter Butterfly offers engaging review of vowel combinations such as ai, oa, ou, oi, and more.
🧠 Syllabication Support
